    Yeah, I'm constantly having to open my sidebar to check, it'd be nice if we didn't have to do this.

      There also doesn't appear to be much CSS and JS manipulation for things like floating top bar, a mobile app could definitely help in that area as well.

      For me there's a decent amount of space left at the top bar on mobile, so perhaps there could be the orange '(number) new' there, or even something small like an orange '!' letting you know to open the sidebar? This is how much space I have and sorry for the weird link, my phone doesn't want to place nice with imgur right now.
