Hope suggestions are appreciated here?!

Loving the columnar layout and the way I can have my feed on the left and just kinda work through it without losing my place or anything. And so the general idea behind this post is to lean into that dynamic as much as possible. In a way I’m thinking that taking inspiration from the mastodon or tweetdeck layouts might make sense.

Some more specific thoughts:

1. It’d be nice if the notifications view could leave the feed column intact so that one can go back and forth between viewing a post and reading/responding to replies
2. Posting to a community could similarly occupy only the space on the left right while leaving the feed column intact.

Perhaps taking this too far … could there be multiple columns. Like 3? Feed - Post/comments - “Sidebar”, where the sidebar can be the normal lemmy side bar, or, the notifications view, and maybe the post writing view too … basically all the other stuff. And maybe it could optionally hidden or expanded, like the sidebar right now?

Otherwise … loving Alexandrite and the columnar view!!
