Please test and enhance SecondBrain for smaller screens and resolutions!
Today I tried out Secondbrain on a much bigger screen, and I saw a whole bunch of menus that I have never noticed before! Especially on the front-page, before you sign in. Of course, users today know how to scroll - but the design on SecondBrain is, because of the rectangular design, so clearly segmented that you are not encouraged to scroll at all. This is a shame, because the "about" and "using" sections are really helpful. New members also might be more encouraged to sign up when they not only see the static info about Secondbrain, but also the collections, users, links etc, that are really easy to overlook with the current design when combined with a smaller screen.

Inappropriate?Which web browser are you using?
What is your screen resolution set at?
(on the pc/mac that you did not see the menus)..
I run a pc with firefox on 1280x1024 or something.. I can see evertything.. might be browser bug.. -
Inappropriate?1024 x 768, Firefox 3.0.3. The adressbar, bookmarkstoolbar and the row of tabs takes up like 10% of the screen estate (can't wait for my new mac).
Because of that, for instance if i sign out, the 'featured users' etc section gets pushed "below the fold" (which i guess is really newspaper jargon).
Beyond the scrollbar, i get no hints that there is more information further down.
This works way better on the explore-page, as the headlines for the next sections are above the fold, and I get encouraged to scroll down..
With the new design, the feeds are way longer, so then I guess it is equally difficult to find the bottom menu on the updates site, but thats not really a problem. if people really ned to find it, I guess they will, as this somewhat of a convention.
I’m confident
