Needs Design

Really? This feels more like a WTF to me.

  • Widgets button: can work the same as with pinned widget (hide it)
  • Threads: as usual. You can already open threads and from there the threads list via thread summaries. This is especially critical as you're not able to find cause for unread markers if unreads are in threads.
  • Pins: as usual, replacing the chat in right panel
  • Search: the only one actually requiring some thought about if/how to make search fit the narrow timeline.

You might WTF the first 3 and split off Search as another issue.

Yes, it really does need design guidance. It was an explicit choice to reduce navigational complexity.

As I hinted in that issue though, we might receive feedback that it is confusing, and indeed, it's here. 😇
