Sorry… didn’t mean to reply to you just to this thread.
I assume LV is one of the founders… couldn’t find the announcement.
The new layout is fine, just different from what my muscle memory is used to with clicking on the menu in the upper right and then clicking Latest or New.
Always thought the hamburger icon on the right was a weird place for it anyways as that differs from most other UI/UX anyways.
Edit: Never mind, I found the announcement from littleviolette: New Sidebar and Notification Menu
