Navigation, rethought

We didn't redesign the sidebar to make it prettier. We redesigned it because a growing product needs a clear point of view about what matters most.
-
Focus over completeness: the things you touch daily, your organization, your projects, sit at the top, one click away. Everything else moved out of the way instead of competing for the same space.
-
Polish in the details: a searchable project switcher instead of a scroll list, profile and account controls settled into one footer instead of floating wherever they used to sit.
-
Less is more, on purpose: seven separate settings tabs collapsed into one Configure entry. Nothing you could do before is gone, it's just not seven decisions to find it.
-
One structure, not several: organization, projects, and Thunders AI now sit in a single, consistent hierarchy, instead of each having grown its own shape over time.
This is the shape we want the rest of Thunders to grow into: the daily surfaces upfront, everything else organized and out of your way, not fighting for your attention.
