Introduced new styles for the sidebar's open and close buttons to
enhance visibility and user interaction. Updated the sidebar logic in
the JavaScript to include a toggle functionality, allowing users to
easily open and close the sidebar. This improves the user experience by
making navigation more intuitive and the UI cleaner. The 'Close Sidebar'
button now directly closes the sidebar, and a new 'Open Sidebar' button
appears when the sidebar is closed, providing a clear action cue to the
users.
Introduce a new sidebar in the UI for enhanced navigation through
scenes. This feature includes CSS modifications for styling, updates in
JavaScript to dynamically load sidebar content based on scene
categories, and template adjustments to include the sidebar option. By
leveraging the Collapse component from Bootstrap alongside existing
infrastructure, this addition enriches user interaction by providing a
convenient and visually appealing method to explore different scenes
within the application. The sidebar's design and functionality are
thoughtfully integrated to ensure a cohesive and user-friendly
experience.
The decision to implement a sidebar stemmed from the need to improve
navigational efficiency and user engagement with the content. This
change is part of a broader effort to enhance the UI/UX of the
application, aiming to make the exploration of scenes more intuitive and
accessible.
Introduced a new CSS file for styling a fixed navbar in scenes,
enhancing user navigation within the virtual environment. Modified
scene.js to include fetching categories and generating a navbar with
scene options dynamically based on the category of the current scene.
This allows users to switch scenes more intuitively. The `nonavbar`
attribute was added for scenes where the navbar should be omitted,
providing flexibility in scene presentation. Additionally, streamlined
CSS and SCSS imports across JS files for consistency and removed an
unnecessary SCSS import from editor.js, optimizing load times and
project structure.
This update significantly improves user experience by facilitating
easier navigation and scene exploration within the application.
