Asking for community input before messing with the navbar again
Asking for community input before messing with the navbar again
So the overall layout won't change, and if you're using default navigation settings, you'll barely notice any difference.
Instances using Photon with SSR have rightfully complained that there's a layout shift between server load and hydration. This happens because the current navbar's position isn't determined by CSS, but by calculations in JavaScript. This is pretty messy and bad.
I rewrote it to be CSS based so that this shift won't happen, and it also simplifies the code quite a lot. However, there's one downside, you won't be able to manually customize the position: the navbar will be a top panel on desktop, and a bottom dock on mobile.
One new feature in this is that on mobile, the bottom dock will hide when you scroll down and re-appear when you scroll up at all. You can disable that in settings.
I consider Photon an opinionated client (of my opinion), but I also want to make sure this isn't a dealbreaker for anyone.
