Ken Chernoff Design Blog
I've recently made the switch the Feedly as my RSS reader of choice, and was very impressed with the iOS app's side navigation. It's simple, attractive, and incredibly easy to use on a smartphone. But as I was looking at it, I thought to myself, "I'd like to build this in CSS, plus add a little twist to it".
For all of the blogging, tweeting, and sandboxing I do in regards to responsive web design, it seemed pretty foolish of me to not have my own site responsive. So while my new site design is still in development, I decided to take a free afternoon and whip up a stylesheet and optimize the site for smaller devices. With the percentage of browsing on smartphones and tablets rapidly rising, this was certainly a must.
If you use a lot of mobile apps on your smart phone, you'll notice that many of them are now using "slide-out" navigation that pushes the app content off-canvas. Not only is it a great way to conserve space for the app content itself, but it provides an intuitive, organized, and easy-to-use navigation for the user. These types of menus are also becoming more commonplace in responsive site designs. And if you're a CSS nut like me, they're VERY easy to implement using only CSS.
