<![CDATA[Semi-hidden sidebar]]>Hello,

I really love the sidebar because of the quick access to the messenger apps and mindfulness excercises, however, I am really missing an option to have the menu overlaid over the website.
When I have it open all the time, it is taking a chunk of my screen and when it's hidden, I feel like I am missing out and kind of forgetting about it since it's not always visible to my eyes.

Is there any chance you could add an option to have the menu always visible without the sidebar background? Kind of like in the little mockup i made?

Thank you!

PS: I noticed when I summon the sidebar, the entire area underneath from top to bottom is not clickable.

@Reitei17 For sure, man. I made the mockup in like 2 minutes just to visualise the idea 🙂

We will consider adding such option in our future updates. Keep the ideas flowing!
