Sidebar: Auto Hide
An auto-hide sidebar is a space-saving navigation component that remains hidden off-screen (or collapsed into a narrow strip) until the user moves their mouse cursor near the edge of the viewport. Entering this designated "trigger zone" causes the panel to smoothly slide or fade into view. Once the cursor moves away, the sidebar automatically retracts.
Code Jack: I know, there are buttons to close and open them manually, but this repeated click, click. click all day long causes too much friction. -- Please implement the auto show/hide feature from Anytype! It has worked perfectly.

I'd enjoy this feature if its implemented well, similar to the autohide for the vertical tab sidebar in Zen and Helium browsers. It's become muscle memory for me in a web browser, would be awesome if Any could do it too.
Can you share an example of how it works. Couldn't find it online.
This is Zen's implementation which is my favorite. If the mouse goes through the left edge of the window, the sidebar always opens regardless of how precise you place the cursor.
Thanks for sharing. Ah ok, looks similar to Arc—just faster. I tried Zen but the translation was so bad I couldn't use it. I wanted to though. :(
