The hamburger menu could just be a vertical drop down stack rather than something that takes over the entire screen.
The point is that the viewport-covering menu is huge because it’s designed to accommodate touch (i.e. imprecise) interaction. It could be much smaller when the user is using a mouse. But you rarely see such accommodation being made. The assumption is low width = mobile = touch.
- crazygringo 3y agoI still don't get it. The actual menu items you select are 20 px font size in the hamburger menu, and 18 px font size from the navbar menu. That's just 11% larger. Nothing about that is "huge". The hamburger menu taking over the whole (narrow) screen doesn't bother me at all. If I'm using the menu, it's not like I need to be looking at the rest of the screen. And it just feels silly to create a third design. We already have navbar for widescreen and hamburger menu for narrow screen. Now you want a third version -- a hamburger menu that is pop-up rather than fullscreen -- for narrow desktop usage? I sure wouldn't want to do all that extra work.
