Once we reach alpha then I will arrange as wide spread testing on the
design as I can via the UI team. Please join if this is an area that you
can give feedback on.

vertical sticky menu with icons?

The menu was originally horizontal and was moved for many reasons. A big
one being that most themes used the top of the page often with absolute
position elements that interfere. For example bootstrap does this.

The menu is designed to use words. This might be broken on the version you
are using. Its supposed to have three modes.
- small square in top left is hidden
- just icons
- words and icons.

Any specific feedback on icons that were unintuitive to you please let the
UI team know.

I'm not sure if this is implemented yet but the vertical menu should be a
concertina rather pop out.
