When accessing Docmost on narrow-width devices like iPhone, the sidebar takes up most of the screen making the main content difficult to view. Currently, the sidebar can only be closed by tapping the dedicated close button.
Requested Feature
I would like to request the ability to close the sidebar by tapping anywhere outside of the sidebar area, which is a common UX pattern in many mobile applications.
User Experience Benefits
Improves navigation efficiency on mobile devices
Follows established UX patterns that users are already familiar with
Reduces friction when switching between sidebar and main content view
Makes one-handed usage more convenient
Technical Considerations
This behavior could be implemented by adding an event listener to the main content area that triggers the sidebar close function when tapped while the sidebar is open.
Devices Affected
iPhones and other narrow-width mobile devices
Priority
Medium - This would significantly improve the mobile experience but doesn't prevent core functionality.
