Closing Panels on Full Screen

Thanks to everyone for chipping in!

Here’s my summary and action items:

  • There are two (largely mutually exclusive) mental models of panel navigation.
  • Fibery currently leans towards the model that places more value on preserving context when browsing.
  • We are not looking to overhaul the navigational model any time soon as we are focusing on other things and don’t have enough evidence to justify the effort.
  • There are cases like aBB → aBC → AB that are annoying no matter the model. We’ll try to fix those and see if the number of complaints goes down significantly.
