Navigation

• fake bold on nav items, change to {font-weight: normal;} and just specify the heavier weight of Monosten
• newsletter signup:
  • try -webkit-font-smoothing:antialiased; and Monosten A for legibility
  • ‘newsletter’ color / legibility: we like that it’s more subtle than the ‘signup’ text but it gets hard to read (see /start). Maybe white with opacity would work better on more colors?
  • :hover state for button
  • :focus state for input(?)
• show BOWERY name next to logo when the nav is open
• put a download link in the nav? if yes we can supply design…
• :hover state for nav links. The row highlighting is a bit problematic for things like Twitter/Github so maybe something like the latest designs would work better.
• indicate to the user that there is more behind the nav:
  • change cursor when a user hovers over any part of the nav
  • animate the logo when a user interacts with it
  • instead of sliding the page, have the nav overlap the page contents so that a user can use the website normally with the navigation open if they choose
• show/hide nav:
  • Have the site load with the nav open then when scrolling to the first section (“add an application”) close it up. The main content on the first screen should stay centered as the nav closes, so it horizontal position shouldn’t change.
  • It could also remain open on larger screens(?)
• active state for current page
