Which menu is best?My thoughts are that #1 looks nicer, but #2 doesn't require visitors to scroll to see the entire menu, so better UX.Wuddya you think, fediverse?

@kev You're not alone in having a scrollable menu, I've seen it with many sites on mobile.You can mitigate it through careful choices in the ordering of the menu items.You could put cookies and GDPR-compliance policy links last. 😉

@kev #2 because the icons in #1 don't add anything.You could go experimental and remove the words in #1 completely adding tooltips and a burger menu with the legend for touch only devices.

@kev You could move logo left, put search on right same line, rest of menu underneath, which would give more space to make it look nicer.

@hund @kev Two. Icons from One looks better but the scrollbar uglifies it a lot and personally since I navigate with keyboard probably would not even bother to check what is at the right side.

@thor @kev @piggo More things should have menu bars: hamburger menus are very disorganized and hard to find things in. And my fridge should just keep the knob for adjusting the thermostat and lever for turning the ice machine on and off.
