I mean honestly clicking the sitemap button on the OP is faster than than any SPA opening a menu.
Your average site already has a bunch of links in the footer, if the argument is that footers are useless and should be eliminated then sure. But otherwise embracing their existing purpose is a good thing.
- bmelton 4y agoTo be fair, the only reason they exist in otherwise minimalist apps is because they need to be there for crawlability. A hamburger menu that isn't visible until someone clicks on it is an SEO problem that is (sadly) easily mitigated with a footer, which has bled into the problem of the big footer, wherein people hamfistedly use the footer to solve the entirety of their crosslinking strategies, which (at least for me, but maybe I'm the weirdo) makes it impossible to scroll to the bottom of the page to get to the meat of it without having to usually scroll almost all the way back up.
