What's your idea?

I would like the BookOrbit reader sidebar to have an optional pinned or persistent mode, so that when I click a table of contents entry, bookmark, or highlight, the sidebar can remain open instead of automatically closing.

A simple pin icon or toggle in the sidebar header would work well: when unpinned, the sidebar could behave as it currently does; when pinned, it would stay open until the user manually closes it.

What problem does it solve?

This would improve long-form reading, research reading, and annotation-heavy reading.

I often move back and forth between sections, bookmarks, and highlights. If the sidebar closes after each click, it becomes frustrating because the navigation panel has to be reopened repeatedly.

Anything else? (optional)

It might also be useful if BookOrbit remembered the pinned/unpinned state during the current reading session, or possibly per book, so users do not have to re-enable it every time they open the reader.

Want to help?
