better side panel interactions on mobile

[wchristian]

On mobile, the button for opening the side panel is hard to find, since it resides on the right side of the screen, while the menu is on the left side.

A better implementation might be a floating bubble in the top left.

Similarly, after opening the side panel, and interacting with it, focus switch and the subtlety of the change in the panel button can make it hard to find it again, when trying to close the side panel.

It would be good to simply highlight it to indicate it now acts as a closer.

@dhogan8 do you have any thoughts on this?

There are a lot of menus on metacpan:

• whatever is in the user menu
• table of contents for pod
• navigation within the dist (source, source(rawr) etc)
• dists' dependencies / upstream
• the stuff at the top (grep::cpan, recent etc) - these overlap with the navigation in the footer

I think the whole lot should all be behind a single, tabbed off-screen UI element and a single toggle

I'm not sure if it's clear from the mockup or not, but I'm not a designer.
