Let's talk front-end!

Thanks!

The "beta" never quite got to where I was headed, which is a bit closer to this design:

I'm in the process of tightening that up and moving it into Figma, so we can do a bit more "open design" moving forward.

I think I've got the search covered, showing it by default in the main layout. Here it is in mobile:

How are those looking?

I prefer the original design at a first glance :/

Search should be permanently visible and not require an extra click which then steals full screen focus. The books concept is good though.

I found the original theme to be quite easy, even modifying it to perma show search on each page in 5 minutes. So all this to say, thanks for v1 it is great!

+1 to the new design!

I'm new here, but looking to start using Chowdown and contributing. I think the search should be the focus of the main page. At the very least, require no scrolling or other menus to start typing on any platform.

Any update with this? I would be keen to have a menu in the main page...

or even if there is a way I can use your beta on my site?
