Ajabbi high-level navigation options

By: Mike Peters

On a Sandy Beach: 29/09/2025

Mike is the inventor and architect of Pipi and the founder of Ajabbi.

Common navigation bar

The ajabbi.com website uses a common navigation bar across all its subdomain sites. It deliberately resembles a ribbon. It's inspired by PostHog's previous website navigation.

For logged-in users, a toolbar will be added to each sub-menu.

The bar comprises 8 menu items, 6 of which are permanent and 2 are contextual. Choosing any permanent menu item brings up a sub-menu and 2 possible contextual menus. There are spaces for a total of 12 contextual menus (6x2).

Sub-menu

There is room for up to 8 sub-menu items.

8 menu items x 8 sub-menu items gives a total of 64 possible sub-menu items.
