UX Suggestion: Make navigation more obvious

[explorigin]

The menu button in the upper-left is ambiguous. If it takes you to notebooks, it should display the notebooks icon. Likewise for inbox (see my suggestion about renaming inbox).

But I would remove this button completely. Instead move the dropdown over to the "nav-bar brand" (which I will call "Location"). This way it tells you what you are currently in (The "Inbox") and if you want to change where you are in the app, just click on it. (See the bootstrap Navbar dropdown example: http://getbootstrap.com/components/#navbar)

Also you could remove the Notebooks listing under the location dropdown. Instead just list the notebooks there (but this makes the dropdown hierarchical so it may be a bigger job for a separate issue). So it would look like:

• "All Notes" (suggested change from "Inbox")

  ---

• (Notebook listings here)
• Trash

  ---

• Settings
• About

So the final order of top navbar elements would be:

• Location drop-down (left justified)
• Search button (left justified, see suggestion about changing search)
• Sync button (right justified, if connected to a remote storage option)
• New note button (right justified)
