Hey, @ed13 ! I’d say be on the lookout for an announcement from Bubble (probably in the next week) about the new responsive engine. I haven’t used it yet, but my impression is this new engine will FINALLY unlock features like collapsible sidebars because it is built using the CSS Flexbox functionality. Here’s a quote from one of the founders:
New responsive design engine: after numerous requests from the community for an ETA, we are very happy to report that we plan to enter a public opt-in beta by the end of October! The plan is to make the new engine available to anyone who wants to try it out, while simultaneously encouraging template creators to port their work over to it. Once we have enough templates in the new system, and we feel that the new system is stable, we’ll make it the default for new apps going forward. Converting an app from the old system to the new system can be done incrementally, one page at a time. We have an algorithm that will convert pages for you, but it’s not 100% perfect, so we expect users to have to manually test and adjust the output to make sure their design looks good in the new system. While the new system, like the old system, has a bit of a learning curve, the feedback from alpha testers of the new system has been very positive, and as an added bonus, the new system has much better run-mode and edit-mode performance than the old one. So, we are very eagerly anticipating the rollout!
