Last week I received some constructive criticism on the project's Matrix room by @[email protected] — BTW if you guys are not on Matrix yet, you are all invited — and there was an interesting point about the bottom navigation bar, which I converted to an issue to better keep track of it.

The original idea was to alter the order of the items in the navigation bar, and I was also suggesting to make it entirely configurable as for which items to include and in what order. But the whole question is more complex than that, e. g. because some people don't expect to find "Settings" in the bottom navigation at all and would like it to be in the navigation drawer on the left.

Personally, I would also like to have bookmarks in the bottom navigation bar instead of settings and would like to swap things that are displayed there and shortcuts that appear in the profile screen (e.g. bookmarks, upvotes/downvoted, drafts, etc.) even if this implies some rework on global navigation and the UI.

Additionally, you know that I am not a big fan of shortcuts in the profile either, but I would prefer to have a panel on the right (like community info or user info) containing all these shortcuts and the logout action instead of placing it in the top bar.

I am therefore creating this post to foster discussion about this topic and gather ideas, so feel free to leave your opinion no matter how much rework it implies.
