I am accessing the Library all the time. It is incredibly frustrating to have to open the Sidebar all the time—a similar bad experience to changing the account. Accessing the Library is a core step in my navigation. It allows me to switch between Knowledge Repositories. Favourites don't help because they lack the Activity information!
Also, having these two buttons together is highly confusing, because they mean the same thing to me:
I don't think we have settled on the name Library. Sometimes feels precise, sometimes not at all, and I would like something like Home. Anyhow, I am happy to keep the name Library until we have a clear alternative.
In addition to the core functionality of switching between knowledge repositories and finding new activity, the Library is my space as a knowledge operator. I can see my subscriptions, my favourites, and everything else stored on my node. The node can be my desktop or my server. The dream experience is a place where I can search for or query any argument or block, and create my own lists of content and views to understand a complex problem better. It should be incredibly flexible and powerful.
I propose to add a button to the Top Bar.
Similar to Google Chrome:
And yes i am removing the search button from there and moving it to both the sidebar and the top of the library!
