Have you considered a dropdown button in the header? Or are these Events?

These aren't added by an event, but the three below them are ("View Revisions", "View Tasks", "View Commits") and those seem reasonable to group, too. We could make events add buttons, of course.

If we go down that route, how do you imagine mobile working? I'm a little worried we're going to end up with like 3-4 mystery meat buttons in some applications, maybe? Like, if we group "Admin", "View" and "Other Actions", do we get three buttons? Do they fit? What icon can we use to clearly communicate "Administrate User"?

(These questions probably have reasonable answers, I just hate writing Javascript and dropdown menus.)

Do you want to give me like a crude napkin sketch of your vision on desktop/mobile and I'll take a crack at implementing it? I can probably make pretty much anything work from a technical perspective, we don't have too many constraints here.

but like not 3D OK? I don't want to write that much Javascript

2D only

yeah let me sleep on it. this isn't urgent or anything.

3d stuff is all css now anyways

(code looks good, but my understanding is we're holding for design.)

Yeah, mostly I just took us to new heights of badness with the number of actions on user profiles (overall, I think the changes which did that are really good, but they've exacerbated an unrelated, preexisting problem). I just wanted to pay some dues for that by kicking T4426 forward a notch.

Having built a prototype of this now, it's not as nice as I'd imagined in T4426. I think it's definitely worth exploring a bit more to find better approaches. This isn't an urgent problem, but will probably just get worse over time.

So short design opinion:

• Overall, rather not build sub-menu support, as it likely will encourage bad behaviour.
• The "View Commits", "View this", "View that" aren't particularly action-like, or needed in the AppSearch world. Consider removal.

I'd move forward in one of two ways:

• Move the admin stuff to a dropdown button in the header (use a gear or person icon). This should just work on mobile (it collapses to an icon with a dropdown arrow)
• Or make a small like divider above the "admin" actions in the list and remove the "View" actions

oh no I got yoinked

I love how the flag icon says both "Stake ownership claim" and "I surrender"

I applied this locally, but it's fataling on Cannot override final method AphrontTagView::addSigil()

Did I apply the patch wrong?

Hrrm, let me give you a clean patch against HEAD...

Try this one?

https://secure.phabricator.com/differential/diff/21266/

Should apply with:

arc patch --diff 21266

I "fixed" it in a hacky way but we can clean that up before moving forward if we come up with some approach here which seems like a reasonable direction.

So this is closer, I still want to add a caret to represent open/closed on the parent, but not clear the best place to put that.

Welp, I rebased and now it's fataling again on AphrontTagView. Not sure what's going on.

Did you have feedback on this? It was ready for review.

(Do you think this is a good element? I don't want to railroad it through on the strength of my belief that submenus are probably a good fix here if you aren't sold after fixing it up.)

It's a good element, I may further tweak it, but there is value in have in (like admin actions, which seems to be increasing).

You can commandeer back

I'd +2 some smooth quick blind action on the menu.
