Please add an option to use the old frontend side menu and UI. (I’m really not a fan of the new one, sorry) ---

The old side menu was light weight, easy to use, larger icons, custom icons for pages, better UX. The new one is sluggish on mobile, the home button on mobile makes no sense (should be menu), when you press something in the mobile menu, the menu doesn’t close it just opens in the page in the background, the blurred background looks bad on mobile. The top menu text is not necessary, it causes the menu animation to move the hamburger on hover. (This fills me with a sense of dread 💀) Also I seem to be missing the user account/login? It was showing at the top right but no longer showing.😭 I love all the other updates! I’m looking forward to going live and launching soon. ---
