User feedback on Menu Component in App Inventor

Open Source Development Google Summer of Code
1

Hello Community!

I am Sara Singhal. I am a GSoC participant and will be spending my summer working on Menu Component And Sidebar.
Menus are a common user interface and provide a familiar and consistent user experience. I will be implementing all three types of menus, i.e, Options menu, Context menu, and Popup menu.

I am attaching a design doc below. Please take some time to review it and drop your suggestions. It will help build the component better and in a more user-friendly way. :smiley:

Link to the doc

Please feel free to drop a comment here or in Google doc in case of any queries and suggestions.

Thanks in advance everyone for your valuable suggestions.

Hi,

I wish you all the best with your project. In your post above you are talking about a Sidebar. But i don’t see that in your doc. Are you still planning on developing that?

Hello!

You can implement click logic for sidebaritems in the blockly.
