Drawers

[Buggalugs]

Greetings!  Well I am just going through tutorial videos re App Inventor;

I really like the ability for rapid development and the "join the dots" way of painting (and kind of documenting in the process) an application;

I wonder if the App Inventor 2 system could include a "Navigation Drawer" type menu system at some point?  Is that on the horizon?

I imagine it can be simulated with a Clock Timer and a combination of Horizontal and Vertical Arrangements. that either shrink|grow in width to expose their contained items or by setting the layout wider than the device screen and push|pulling a VerticalArrangement into and out of view by changing the width of another component on it's left side.

There is an example of a drawer on YouTube made with ai2livecomplete.
