Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes! Changes to the Treehouse Navigation.

This looks much better! Thanks for constantly improving the experience for all of us!

One thing I'm delighted about is no longer having the personal issue of accidentally clicking the "support" icon each time I tried to pause/run a video on the video screen.

Other than that it;s great but is going to take a bit of getting used to. :D

Wow! No longer will I be bothered by the wasted whitespace that previously occupied the right side of the site on desktop. This new layout is beautiful.

Looks great :D

Please review the height of a video on tutorials, it has reduced in size since the update, makes it hard to watch while not full screen, also review it while affected by the width of a browser.

Thanks, It has to be fixed,

Tadas

aaaah thanks treeHouse for this update, finely i don't have the side bar which occupy my video space.

Looks great! Thank you guys for everything!

Looks pretty. I must say I was already loving the sidebar. Sidebar you will be missed.

great job! but i have a problem i live in China , Why i watch turorial feel so lag? can anyone help me ?

I really like it! Good job! Can't wait to inspect element the page and see the updated code >:D

Expanded "blue sky" version of my "Account Settings" suggestion:  

            Navigation Bar       Text at Top     Icons at Top (with tooltips)    Icons at Side (with tooltips)

Clearly, some folks have a strong preference for one placement or the other. And while the new placement is ideal on portrait orientations like mobile displays, it actually reduces the available screen area on landscape displays. This is even more noticeable now that the maximum width of the content area has also been reduced.

As an alternative to adding a new account setting, you could potentially switch navbar placement and orientation based on window width. When the window width meets or exceeds the total of the max content width plus the sidebar width, use the sidebar — otherwise used the top navbar. This would give the user the ability to choose just by adjusting their window.

thumbs up

Navigation is excellent!

Perhaps change the layout of the Tracks so that all "completed" tracks are at the top, side by side

Pretty Nice!

Hi, Matt Spiel !

I have a question:

When recaping Treehouse videos, why are those not taken into consideration for the "Momentum" metric at the end of the video? It doesn't make sense not to!

Wow excellent!

Hi Kyle Meyer !

I find myself rewatching videos quite often, especially after I've been away from learning for a while! It seems to me that it's a good approach to getting things to sink in...

Christmas came early this year! Wow!

Amazing job, Matt Spiel, love the feel the new nav gives the site!

Good stuff!

I like it, the height on the nav bar might be smaller

I love it!

Looks great, but in the challenges... when you're scrolling down to type the code, the instruction now scroll off screen. Prior, the instructions would shrink, but lock in place so you can still see them while doing the code. It's makes it a bit more challenging now.

Also, I agree with Dimitrius... The nav bar could be a bit smaller.

It's nice to see you're constantly looking to improve. I had thought about emailing you guys because the icons looked rather similar to eachother at first glance - every time I wanted to navigate somewhere it took me a split second longer than it should to know where I wanted to click. Not a huge issue, but I think this is definitely an improvement. Plus it adds a bit of screen real estate when watching videos of a certain size. Nice job guyz

I do miss the graduation cap bc it made me feel intelligent and studious, and better than everyone else who does not have a graduation cap, but whatever.

This new layout suck. Speaking of UX, I think it would be great to give users the opportunity to switch between layouts. I prefer the previous layout much better. That was much educational learning structure. Menu on the top of the page to me feels more corporate structure. I'm disappointed.

Excellent.

I like how everything is centered and 1260 is a nice width looks really clean, kudos!

PS I happen to like the size of the nav bar and the font size of the links easy on the eyes and quick to read.

PPS I also like how it matches my Mozilla Firefox Developers Edition Theme

Way better! The traditional style navigation bar is much easier to use for me! Really appreciate the redesign and also the ios app!

Have to agree with everyone asking for options between the two layouts. The prev. layout allowed us with wider screens to have the teachers notes and a larger video player all in view without having to scroll around, especially as the nav bar was hardly used when simply going through a few lessons for the day. Regardless, keep up the good work!

Pretty Good : )

Miss the sidebar icons

Love the new design, looks and functions better than before!

I love it!

I like the change, too! The icons did require a bit of deciphering no matter how many times I used them. I don't have to think anymore! Nice job communicating the change to us.

Looks good, just one thing. On the mac the videos is to small, in the old design it was big. Now I need to click to fullscreen.

Yay! The old icon based solution was a little bit confusing... much better now.

AW D: I really liked the icons on the side. Any chance you could add an option in the future to use either one? :D

I actually liked the sidebar better. It's less wasteful on widescreen displays, considering height is already a scarce resource on wide displays like all notebook displays.

Nah, i hate it. It's good, but i preffer the older one. At least give us the source code , the CSS so i can attach it , like it was in the old days xd.

Mmmh, i don't know, let's see if im going to adapt in few weeks to this.

Treehouse was already a pleasant experience from a UX standpoint. Now, it just got a lil better !

Nice ;)

I like new design!) But the video screen is smaller and sometimes there are problems with site elements when scrolling down. When I want to see teachers notes I scroll down and is ok, but when I scroll up back The video is mixed up with the buttons and text.

Great work, Matt! :) I am finding navigation and UX much more intuitive.

I want take courses to prepare me to become java script programmer. what is my first step I need to take html and css or just html. I am newbie in this field.

Is anyone else having problems with their "workspaces" not loading? I keep trying and get an error message saying "Not Authorized". I only have 12/100 workspaces so I know I'm not at my limit. And it takes forever for them to load up as well. The changes to the nav are great but that does nothing for me if I can't load a workspace to write code in. Guess I'll fire up Sublime Text and just wing it. I've been a member since "Day 1" and seen this site grow exponentially. But what good is a bad UX if the UI doesn't work as planned? Any suggestions would be great. Until it's fixed, I'll just stick with Sublime.

Ch-Ch-Ch Changes!!!! Stuck in my head now lol

Great work! Love it :)

We can we remove "In Progress" courses from the home page we no longer want to continue?

I really like that you guys turned this into a learning opportunity! I want to be a user experience designer, and right now in my studies, I'm very interested the philosophy part of design: why certain sites or apps choose to design their products in a certain way. So, when I saw the change I was immediately, like "Why?" Thanks so much for writing a post and explaining your decision. It's really obvious that teaching is at the heart of everything you do, even making a change to your UI :)

I'm not sure if this is just an issue in Safari( I know I should check cross-browser compatibility... or maybe you guys should...), but after completing any video the page scrolls back to the top, and I always have to scroll down to click "Continue".

A slight annoyance, but maybe you can just move the Continue button to the top or add an auto-continue feature.

I like very much this new style. Keep up Treehouse :)

It will be much better if the GIF is not laggy :/ hmmm

I know I am really late to the table here. I haven't been active on treehouse for sometime now and have just seen the re-design and read this post about it. I must say, I enjoyed reading about it. As a solo free-lancer, I appreciate how much effort y'all have put into discussing your changes openly with your users. It's nice to have an informative dialogue as to how a design team comes to these types of major decisions. It feels very open-source in nature. Thanks!

The new design looks better.

Hey guys, I would really like to see the search feature for courses be more prominent in the new design. I would have a more enjoyable user experience if I did NOT have to navigate to the Library to access the search feature :)

I like it.
