Oh right, also decided to turn the "hashtag" icon into a "search" icon... because that is where search lives.

The Mastodon sidebar but with the hashtag icon switched for a magnifying glass search icon.

@darius Great decision. I don’t understand why Mastodon went against that broadly accepted practice.

@darius how many of these are toggles that the admin can turn on or off vs things that are baked into the template as soon as you install Hometown?

@darius you love to see it. that hashtag-for-search-(because-really-you’re-searching-hashtags-not-text) icon is a great example of overthought ui

@ja2ke that is a really good point. I hadn't even considered that because on many servers including my own you have full text search of a subset of posts, so it extra doesn't make sense

Ok I ended up with unexpected free time today so I went ahead and made the #Hometown mobile menu expand/retract with a button push.

Works in tablet layout too, though not quite so useful.

@darius the menu collapsing thing is such an improvement!

@darius Very glad for the menu collapse, thank you! Gonna check the thread for other features in a bit when I have some time.

@darius this is my number one pet peeve with the masto web ui, and now I wish @mastohost supported hometown
