@tuomas_h@mastodon.social I'd be curious to hear how you think iPad fits (or doesn't fit!) into the design thinking here.
The new sidebars seem to stem the desire for consistent treatment across macOS and iPadOS (where the constrained width of the display makes floating sidebars feel more natural as the sidebar collapses and expands over the content). Do you think that's a worthwhile goal here?

@cdoncarroll@mstdn.social That’s a very good question. I don’t immediately see why this couldn’t work for iPad too, especially in the “sidebar open” mode. You’re right in the sense that the floating sidebar feels more at home on iPad because it can transition into a tab bar, but I think the fact that pixels are “lost” around the sidebar hurts even more on such a small display. I’m sure there is some kind of a solution for the tab bar that makes it feel like a natural counterpart for the “drawer” sidebar.
