While thinking what can be the best way to [make badges more discoverable] (Making badges more discoverable) i realize that a lot of information are hidden because of the “mobile menu”.
Is there any reason why hamburger menu is shown also on larger screen?
I would definetely see a lot of improvement in this area of the app.
We could show on top some more important information like:
badges icons
notifications (why notifications are together with perosnal setting?)
admin (if you are an admin)
And i would definetly re-organize some of the dropdown menu.
I don’t see much of relation between single pages like FAQ, About and Categories, Last, New, Badges (here they are!!), Tags, …
And the serach bar could be displayed next to the icon. Any particular reason why is displayed below and is not 100% width (or at leats longer)?

Navigation

The same goes for the hamburger menu. I’ll need to see some mockups before I’m perfectly clear on what you’re suggesting here, but I might have pitched some similar ideas in my proposal for a left-aligned hamburger menu:
I think some type of callout for “new badge!” might be useful. I wouldn’t want a permanent button there, but I could see some equivalent of a “What’s new” type notification that appears only when you’ve earned a new, noteworthy badge:
