A much welcomed improvement! As I have been slowly setting up my Forem community, I have at times felt that the accessibility of the Admin dashboard could be reworked. It's like the team read my mind 💚

So far I only got to test the new navigation system really quickly, but it already felt much easier to use. Will be sure to provide further feedback if there is anything interesting that comes up.

Thanks for the work you and the team put in!

At the moment, I encounter the most friction with the "Customization > Config" section. There is a lot going on in there which is fine because Forem offers a lot of features/functionality but some things can be improved, in particular the following tabs: Community Content, Images, Mascot, Meta Keywords, User Experience and Brand.

I completely understand your frustration with this section. You'll notice on our open source repository that we're actively tackling the admin interface (config section included) and working towards having these sections within a more contextualised and intuitive view. We look forward to shipping these updates and reducing that friction for creators. We'll keep ya'll updated here!
