RE: 👨🏻💻 Condenser: Introduction of Navigation into Feeds Screen
Other than the community information on a community page, what benefit do we receive from either left or right panel?
They consume almost 1/3rd of the screen which could be better used for more valuable content.
I shared more detailed thoughts in this post which explains why I believe the panels are pointless. There are also a lot of thoughts in the comments from other users regarding this.
It will be good if you use these side panels to show valuable information rather than flexing the feed to the whole screen for large screen users.
And can add the tabs for small screens.
My intention is to keep one panel for contextual information - for example, the communities information is particularly valuable. This would also help break up the design of the page, allowing it to breathe.
At the moment, the information in both columns combined doesn't warrant the amount of room they're consuming and can be merged into a single, more useful, more contextual sidebar.
peakd flex the feed to the entire page and whilst it's not quite to my liking, I know that it's the preferred interface amongst Hive users. Perhaps interestingly, their "List" and "Blog" views maintain a sidebar whereas their "Grid" view doesn't - I would also critique the lack of design consistency across the 3 views as it appears that little care has been taken in the execution of their design.
