I was just considering... What if we removed the right navigation from the home and explore pages? That would give us the full width of the site for status updates, code, images, etc. I'm planning to make the snippet pages full screen, so why not make the homepage full screen. I could even display entire code snippet pages on the activity stream. You wouldn't have to leave the homepage to look at anything. Of course this would require a "show more" link for the long ones.
Ahh, well, sorry for the misunderstanding. As far as the right navigation, it's handy I suppose, but I never really use it. It's helpful in seeing what you've done posting-wise, but nothing else, personally. So, I see nothing wrong with it being removed. :) I still like the idea of a sort feature if you plan on having everything posted to the homepage.
He may be referring to the profile pages in Facebook, which does not have a sidebar.
I disagree though, the design on Hawkee is far too different from Facebook's, and sidebar-less content is nothing new.
While we're on the topic: Facebook's 2-column alternating setup in their profile page is just plain horrendous.
Well, if you removed the navigation from the home page, will there be any way to see the other sections of the site respectively? Possibly a drop down box somewhere? Or something similar? Because it's nice to see just code snippet posts and such once in a while. :P Or possibly have a sorting feature on the homepage to designate what you want to view. I.E. Snippets, status updates, etc. Honestly, if you were to go this route, a sorting function would be quite nice. As far as long posts/snippets, you'd definitely need a "show more" button and limit the auto-append as this was previously discussed between me, you, and SunnyD. :P Either way, I'm enjoying the route you're taking with the site design-wise and other aspects. :)
