Additional Navigation Menu
I would like to propose additional navigation for Hubzilla. Preferably this is added to the core, but it can also be developed as an addon.
The idea is that we have context sensitive menus throughout the entire site. This should be configurable by the admin and the user. There would be three types of menus: social, forum, and system (and none since you can turn it off).
I created some mockups and have also implemented an example on my channel. The one on my channel was made using blocks, but for sitewide navigation, we would need to implement it as a widget. And if we make it into a widget, it can be used with multiple themes and rearranged or removed using the PDL editor.
https://codejournal.dev/page/scott/navmenuI have been using this for months now on my channels and even set it up for some other people, and it does make navigation to common items easier. It also gives you context, letting you know where you are at on the site, and whether the page is associated with a channel or not.
This would make onboarding faster, since all of the most common items new users need are visible. It is also what people expect to see when using a Facebook-style system.
Also, ideally we make the default content max width in Redbasic 70, 75, or 80. People have wider screens these days. Since it is responsive, it always adjusts down, but it would be nice if it adjusted up too.
Tell me what you think. Thank you.
