I have a couple questions… 1. Would it be possible to add some highlight/indicator to show which category a person is in, by highlighting (or some other visible distinction) the category one is currently viewing? 2. Would it be possible to show sub-categories? Perhaps when a user is viewing a Category that has sub-categories, it would be great to see that Category open and showing the sub-categories beneath it. ↳ another point to this that would be nice is that if a Category has sub-categories, if there was a way to instantly see this… maybe kinda like the Discourse “Hide Details” feature works… ## Example… > **🔹 Category 1** > >            🔸 Sub-Category 1 > >            🔸 Sub-Category 2       🔹 Category 2       🔹 Category 3 > **🔹 Category 4** > >            🔸 Sub-Category 1 > >            🔸 Sub-Category 2 --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/sidebar-with-categories/104165)._
