A sidebar that gets out of the way

When using There There, you'll probably spend the most time on the tickets pages. On the left side of that screen there is a sidebar that allow you to navigate to all ticket views.

In There There, all panes are resizeable so you can size a ticket message, the AI panel, ... to how you like best. The sidebar can of course also be dragged. And to make it get out of your way, we added a collapsed state of it as well.

We have spent some time animating going from/to the different states. You can click the border of the sidebar to see that animation. You can also manual drag so you can see the animation slowly.

Pretty slick, right?

Small thing, but it is the kind of detail we like to sweat.
