Describe the feature you'd like

In the event where you have a list with a long name, you wouldn't be able to see it with the current implementation.

In other application UIs, they may not need an width adjustable sidebar if their sidebar items are decided by the application. But in karakeep's case since the list name are user decided, it should be able to accommodate it. On that note, we should also even allow for reordering of the lists.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

Having an adjustable sidebar will allow the users to glance at the lists if they want to.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Not without opening the list.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

  • I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

Great idea! I would love the sidebar to be adjustable in width. At the moment, I have five nested folders and I can't see the name of the last one.

Technically the feature is already done. I should clean up the implementation and make a PR soon lol.
