Adding modern features: the collapsible/resizable sidebar

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 21:55:21 -0600

While I’ve been working on PopsicleBoat, I’ve been looking at every possible angle I can think of to make it bloated as hell (just kidding). No, it just occurred to me any website with an audience and a community and users etc needs the same kind of layout said audiences are used to. Including a collapsible nav sidebar. So, I focused on that. I think there’s room to improve, such as instead of fully hiding it could be a thin rail with icons but that will take additional attention since the sidebar currently does not have icons. I’ll have to think about that.

Anyway, I’ll skip the technical details. I’m just happy it’s working, you can resize it, collapse it entirely, or double click on the edge to restore it to default size.

Pretty cool, huh?

Just wanted to share my excitement.

Cheers, ya’all!
