Twitter’s website is getting a noteworthy redesign. The company has been trying another of a new version of its desktop website since the start of the year, and today the final product will be made available to the general public. The redesigned experience rearranges navigation with another — and genuinely enormous — left-hand sidebar that guides you to the majority of Twitter’s key segments, including Notifications, Direct Messages, Explore, Bookmarks, Lists and that’s just the beginning. The site additionally includes an extended, more inbox-like Direct Messages screen where you can view and react to discussions in a single spot; in addition to simple profile exchanging, support for more themes, advanced search and other features.
Twitter’s borrowed a few more features from its mobile apps to improve the desktop experience, like the ‘sparkle’ button on the home bar that lets you switch between seeing the latest, chronologically-ordered tweets instead of Top tweets. The side navigation bar will also make it easier for users with multiple accounts to switch profiles quickly without having to log in and log out, a feature that’s been available on the mobile app for years, with a long-press of the home icon.
