Missing navigation tabs in Explore/Overview #534

Open aggsol opened 7 years ago

aggsol commented 7 years ago

The overview has no navigation tabs on top, see screenshot.

This results in weird user experience when returning e.g. from the teams tab back to the overview tab and the tab bar vanishes.

Expected behaviour: All tabs keep the tab navigation bar.

The navbar is intentionally hidden on the Overview page because it is redundant there. I'm not too concerned about people going back to the Overview page from e.g. the Teams tab, that's "atypical". The flow we want to optimize is Homepage → Explore Overview → Explore $something (although this is non-optimal in itself because it's too many clicks, #512 is a related issue).

I understand. Then the solution would be to remove the Overview tab in the nav bar. Once the user is in Explore $omething the tabs provide the overview. Currently the path is even worse because the way Homepage → Explore Overview include a drop down menu. Clicking on the Explore area on the Homepage does nothing.
