Feature Request 🛍️

Add a Hamburger Menu to the Sidebar for Enhanced UX

Use Case

In the current layout, the sidebar is always visible, which may clutter the interface or limit screen real estate—especially on smaller screens or mobile devices. By adding a collapsible hamburger menu (like in ChatGPT), users can toggle the sidebar visibility, improving focus and overall usability.

Possible Solution

A hamburger menu can be introduced as a toggleable UI element that controls the visibility of the sidebar. When activated, it would slide the sidebar in or out of view, enhancing the interface's responsiveness and cleanliness. This can be achieved using simple state management to handle visibility, combined with smooth transition effects for a seamless user experience. The design should adapt gracefully to various screen sizes, ensuring intuitive navigation on both desktop and mobile devices.

Context

Users on tablets or smaller laptops are experiencing limited screen space. This enhancement aligns with modern UI/UX trends and gives a cleaner, more focused layout.

Detailed Description

I propose to add a hamburger menu in the navigation/header bar. When clicked:

  • If the sidebar is currently visible, it should slide out of view
  • If hidden, it should slide into view
  • Overlay or dimming effect can be added on small screens when the sidebar is open
  • Sidebar state should persist (optional) so it doesn't reopen unintentionally after refresh
