, for collapsed/hidden subtopics, down-caret
for expanded/shown subtopics. It is easier to see what open and what still hidden as these to states of the caret are more visually distinct.
I had to come up with my own rational for the current behavior, an analogy to briefcase clasps, down is closed, up is open with contents exposed.
I suppose this might be trying to leverage drop-down list
, but why not use the more common convention?kevins8

, so that informs my bias. The "Spinning Triangles" option was the best from that space, IMHO, and not covered in the design document. "Heading" - (topics), with children get an equilateral triangle:
* When right pointing and 'filled' it represents subheadings are hidden, (visual metaphor - subtopics are in the triangle)
* Downward pointing and 'empty', that represents subheadings are exposed, (visual metaphor - subtopics are out of the triangle)
Not arguing for this specifically, just saying that we shouldn't go just for "good enough" or dumb it down. In fact, I'm liking the Typescript site elaborations more now that I've interacted with it:
* uses "Spinning Carets - rt pointing + horz"
* highlights the toplevel heading and subtopics as long you are within them, i.e. have a relevant note open
* marks the 'current note' with a prepended 'pipe-character'
* is keyboard navigable when the nav pane has focus
The design document is focused on mobile friendly design, and while we want that, we shouldn't make it suboptimal for desktop usage. The design pendulum has swung toward minimalism, too far in my opinion. Wait until AR/VR swings it the other way, (of course that stuff is beginning to look like the "fifty years 'til Fusion" stuff. I'm all for easy discoverability, but leave and even enhance the expert level stuff.
P.S. noticed google results is using "horizontal-carets", but even they are using a "spin" animation, and what is being "revealed", are not navigational elements, for 'notes in another pane, but in effect, the note itself.Tika

at the beginning of note names. It selects all kinds of things all over in addition to the correct notes. Can I force it to understand this literally? And is it as intended?SeriousBug
