Similar to Notion, where the sidebar automatically appears when you move the cursor close to the edge of the screen.

Impact

This allows users to easily hide or show the sidebar without obstructing their view. It’s a more intuitive approach compared to repeatedly pressing a button to toggle the sidebar.

Additional Context

It can be made optional.
