Improvement Suggestion

PROBLEM.

• After updating to the latest version of Curio, when opening the WebGUI, you will see that the left menu items are hidden and only a single icon is displayed.
• After expanding the icon, the left menu is displayed, but when another page is opened, the left menu remains hidden. In this case, you need to click the icon again to open the left menu.
• Poor user experience.

@xiaoliwe Why is this a poor user experience? The menu was hidden for users with smaller screen to allow more usable area and reduce scrolling. If menu stays open always what would be the point?

Well, I think this video should explain what I wanna say about the sidebar : https://dribbble.com/shots/15010501-Sidebar-Navigation-Animation.

User experience: Users need to click the left menu one more time to reach the next page.

Where can I find guidance on code collaboration? Thx

https://github.com/filecoin-project/curio/tree/main/web/static has all the JS and UI code. The menu component is rendered in https://github.com/filecoin-project/curio/blob/main/web/static/ux/curio-ux.mjs
