Try out the new sidebar and notification menus!

Hmm… are you saying you don’t want a way to see them all together unfiltered?

Kind of, but that might just be because they are prioritised by latest, rather than by importance of content to the user.

Maybe “all” could be split somehow? e.g.

But this would be dynamic. For example, if there are no new likes, then that section is empty/hidden, and we add 4 more items to “Latest”

@mcwumbly

how would you expect to get back to “all” notifications? Just close the menu and re-open it?

I’m not really sure.

Originally we didn’t have this “everything else” item at the bottom (boxes icon):

I loved this button immediately. It gave me a way to search less important things for something important I might have missed.

Also, I always found that a there was a lack of a quick access to the direct messages page (you need to click twice on the letter icon in your avatar menu, that’s not very intuitive). It’s very welcome in the sidebar, though I’d prefer to have a more obvious button somewhere else close to or inside the avatar menu.

I experienced this as well. A more direct way to access the mailbox is nice.

Sidebar looks great but I’m struggling to get to the admin page now. Sorry if I missed something obvious

I also struggled for a minute. Maybe it would be good to make Admin an entire item on the sidebar? This would give us quicker access to dashboard,settings, users etc.
