Left Sidebar is Huge

Danielle Rodriguez · October 4

Is there any way to collapse the left side bar?

When trying to use this application in half-screen mode, the view of the actual diagram is extremely limited due to the left sidebar.

This makes it extremely difficult for me to read and process the diagram without getting distracted for a few reasons:

(1) When in half-screen view, the left sidebar dominates the view despite not really containing useful information so I don't understand its purpose besides reminding you social media exists when you're trying to deep focus (lol) And the limited space this is allocated for the actual graphical content is impeded on by the search bar overlay at the top of the screen

(3) When in full screen view, I need to have the other resources I am concurrently using in a different screen which introduces additional context switching / brain lag to switch between the two

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there more advance feature for customizing the view if I had a paid subscription?

I really like this tool! I am not sure why I felt so inclined to bring up this topic as I know I sound like a Karen right now.

It really difficult to graphically express verbose information - other software in the market such as draw.io and MS Visio are NOT built to display large text blocks hence, why I find mind miester is extremely valuable, both personally and professionally. However, certain pitfalls in the UI design like this dampen the ability for a user to realize the full purpose of the tool. I also have ADHD so I might be alone in this…
