I was thinking the pop up should look something like the current side menu (just without the metadata-details. Or would we want a new design for it?

pop up example

I'd also guess we'd want to build the pop up with JS from the users API but it raises the question can the API show if you're following someone or not and is there an endpoint for following a user.

Also we style the border-top-color from the users brand color is that something we can add the the users api?

This is all presuming going the API route is the best way to do things but perhaps you all have different ideas?

I just had a look at how twitter do it and it looks like it's with a portal, they have an overlay layer that they add the pop up into. I'm not seeing any network traffic (other than getting images) so I guess the data is all baked in.

Yup! A solution like this seems about right.

Also remember that we would also implement a design for the mobile version of this so that it looks appropriate on small screens.

Would you have the popup on mobile? Or would it just not exist?

Hey! The popup would definitely exist on mobile. I think that we can design an elegant way of how this looks and appears, so that's what I'm excited about.
