Not saying that it’s going to happen, but I’d like to throw it out there for discussion. Thoughts? :)

Current Navigation Scheme

Proposed Navigation Scheme

This was one of the original navigation schemes I decided against for the app.

I’m leaning towards going back to it because I feel the placement of buttons and sub-navigation is more clear.

Seth,

I think the proposed is MUCH better. Easier on the eyes. Amazon in the early days tried the multiple rows of tabs and it doesn’t seem to work well. Which is why they went with one row later on… ( which changed depending where you were at ).

I like this much better. And the left hand nav makes sense.

As far as the ” Add Time Entry ” ... etc… maybe they could the yellow box ?

Great work guys. Always love your stuff.

Keep rockin!

Good move: it’s really intuitive to have the second level navigation in a vertical panel. And it having the Cash overview (or whatever other key information there is on a particular page) in the panel: it doesn’t take up any more space.

What a great app: Cashboard simply goes on getting better.

I’m on the fence. I can see the advantages of each.

I have to say from a browser perspective your top choice is better due to the scrolling of the browser on the side. I don’t have to move my hand across my wacom tablet to click the buttons as compared to the second choice. In other words, movement feels more consolidated in the first one…much easier on my arm. I work way too much as you can tell! Cheers! T :)

I think it looks more organized the new proposed way.

Do you really move your arm to move the mouse/tablet? I hardly have to move my hand ever! Maybe you just need to speed up the acceleration to give your arm a rest. :)

LOL – maybe you have a larger screen then I do (smile)....my 15” means I end up scrolling through my screen a lot as I have projects that have many line items in them. I will use Cashboard nonetheless…it’s a marvelous tool. Just thought I would put my two cents in. Blessings! T :)
