Discussion based layout

Abhi

This forum has a discussion based layout. The very famous Discourse has a discussion based layout. Vanilla forums have it too. Considering that it is not a singular thing in the forum industry, do you think that discussion based layout is going to stay ?

Maybe one day Xenforo will have a plugin which does the same.

It comes from the Facebook feed. Twitter too is feed based. And almost every social media platform.

So it is going to stay. Brace for impact 😉

Didn't think like that.

Agreed.

Telegram groups are very popular these days. At least in some countries. The do well with their " open source " tag reputation.

That is more or less like a Facebook group with lesser control. Since apps is the next big thing at least the mobile version needs to be in that format.

Mobile apps are for instant chats. That is when you have time to be in a group. For working people weekend and after work hours. Same goes for the college / university students.

There are tags on the left-hand side panel. Why not we make it big and satisfy those who want a category based layout. How hard it can be ?

.sideNav, .sideNav > ul {
    width: 300px;
}

change it from 190px to 300px and you have this

It doesn't even break the responsive design.

We can do it if required. Personally, I prefer tags layout built-in with Flarum.
