What
The left panel that lists/switches between boards (currently headed "boards", #sidebar / <nav id=\"scopes\">) could use a more distinctive name. This issue tracks naming candidates.
Now that the panel does more than list — it sorts by Name / Created / Updated and shows per-board recency (#176) — it's becoming a real named surface, so a good name is worth settling.
Lead candidate: sideboard
A portmanteau of sidebar + board.
- 👍 Memorable, on-brand, playful; literally "the side panel of boards".
- 👍 Short, reads well as a UI label and in docs/code.
- 👎 Collides with the furniture sense ("a sideboard in the dining room") — minor, and unambiguous in context.
Other candidates to weigh
- board rail / rail — common UI term for a side strip
- board switcher — describes the action (switching boards)
- deck — "a deck of boards"
- boards panel — literal, safe, a bit plain
- boardbar — sidebar↔boardbar
- shelf — boards sitting on a shelf
- stack — a stack of boards
