So clicking the Avatar will still have the menu

I think it should definitely remain that way. I'm not that familiar with these things, but I would like to see an alternative method. The logout button is also intuitive to find there.

One more thing: Although it is not yet in the current Condenser code and I don't know whether it will ever be integrated by those responsible (I feel the same way as you), please also keep the bookmarks in mind. Further progress has suffered a little due to my Hivemind troubleshooting, but the basic function is almost finished...
I think the bookmarks could be placed in the "More" menu and in the avatar menu.

the idea of "don't make me think"

Right. When I read about this "rule" the other day, I questioned it for this reason. I would see exceptions in the following cases:

  • the icon is very clearly recognisable,
  • the function behind it is immediately obvious or
  • it is a generally known icon (for example, the floppy disc for saving - although no one in the younger generation is likely to have ever seen a floppy disc in the wild, almost everyone knows the function of this icon).

In this respect, you could dispense with the text only if you use correspondingly effective icons. Otherwise, the text is rather helpful.

Thank you for reminding me - it had slipped my mind. I agree with your thoughts, aligning the functionality with the idea of "Subscriptions / Communities", it would make sense for Bookmarks to live alongside Subscriptions.

I agree. If an icon is instantly recognisable, like your example, then the user doesn't have to think because it's known to them (so the rule still works 😉) - it also applies to text where (especially) in finance, jargon is used and the user will often ask "what does that mean??"

It's tricky to get the best balance of removing elements and ease of understanding. The good thing is that removing the text or icon is an extremely simple change that could be done in either the JSX or CSS file - the elements are in the HTML and CSS is currently used to show/hide them.
