Going to nitpick a bit:
-
why is there so much extra space at the bottom of a section? sometimes more space at the bottom makes sense, but this feels too uneven
-
Is the smaller “all categories” “all tags” intentional? those are fairly important links IMO
-
Generally heading text feels tiny, especially when collapsed
-
Not a fan of the carets on the right, I guess this is meant to differentiate headings, but it feels like we’re wasting space when we’ve already got a sidebar column for icons
-
The right padding should be removed from the sidebar container so the scrollbar is flush right like Manuel mentioned
-
We lost the background hover effect on headings… this combined with the smaller size makes the clickable area feel a lot more ambiguous than the main links
Yes, tbh this feels so padded that it feels out of place with the rest of Discourse… for this to be default I think we’d need to commit to adding more padding everywhere (not opposed to this, but it’s a big effort)
yeah we’re considering adding a sidebar to the sidebar, kind of like what slack does… this could switch contexts and sidebar content, right now we have a few diverging approaches to how sidebars work and need to tie them together one way or another. We could also move messages and “about” content to their own sections to make the main sidebar shorter.
