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)?

We did it to reduce the number of glyphs; it’s a huge space saver on mobile. We’ve had no complaints about this after the change, and I find it to be quite intuitive:
Search
Navigation
“All about me”

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:
