Am I missing like some settings? Anything you've done? I'd like it to stop connecting to outbox relays and just connect to the 4 I have set, at least until I need to.
I'd like the right-hand drawer to go away and just give me a feed in the center, letterbox if you will. Id like to be able to manage my cache and stuff like I can on nostrudel. Id like to be able to choose how/when relay auth happens, so I'm not continually spammed with auth permissions popups.
Why don’t you like the right-hand drawer?
I'm just not a fan to be honest. I think find it distracting. I found myself wanting to resize it out of the way. It felt like the content in the drawer and the content in my feed were mutually exclusive, which meant my attention shifted from either, and when one needed my attention, the other was in the way. That said, I really disliked the drawer in nostrudel and was happy when he removed it as well. I think I just wanted one thing in focus at a time. For example, I use 4 monitors at my workstation, all windows are maximized in them at all times. If something needs my attention it has it exclusively, then it goes away.
Got it
i want it to be a drawer that i can hide away, that only appears when i'm looking at the settings or opened up a thread. an actual folding view would make it way more usable on a mobile
But I feel like a real drawer isn’t all that different from single-column mode. Since you can only interact with one page at a time, opening a new page is basically the same as a full-screen drawer. 🤔
it's possible to make drawers turn into two columns on a wider display very easily, and be able to hide the second one as well
the whole android side drawer thing seems naturally to segue into splitting the screen when it's sideways or bigger. you can put a pin button on it's header bar as well, so it can stay open or automatically close when you use the left bar. i like pins. pins are underrated.
it would be possible to have the drawer pop out but not be modal, for example, so your scrolls still change the left view
From your description, that doesn’t really sound like a drawer. It’s more like a second column that can auto-show and hide. If the right column appears while you can still operate the left one, that means the right column doesn’t overlay the left, it has its own dedicated space.
The question then is: when the right column is hidden, should the left column expand to fill the gap? If it does, the content on the left will keep shifting in height as the width changes, which makes browsing less pleasant. If it doesn’t, then hiding the right column doesn’t seem all that necessary, which is basically how it works now.
