About this vibe coding template
Sidebar menu template for developers and designers building products people work inside. A horizontal bar runs out of room at about six items, and past that a product either hides things behind a More menu or moves the navigation down the side. The side is the better answer for anything with real depth: it holds far more, it groups, and the whole map stays visible so someone can see what a product does without clicking to find out. Collapsing to icons matters on a laptop, where the content deserves the width. Plain HTML and CSS, no libraries and no build step.

Plain HTML and CSS with no framework and no build step. To use it in React, Next.js, or Tailwind, paste it in and ask your AI coding tool to convert.

Common questions about this template
What is a sidebar menu?
Navigation down the side of a product, not across the top. It holds more items, it groups them, and it keeps the whole structure in view.
When is a sidebar the right choice?
Past about six destinations. A top bar runs out of room and starts hiding things, and a hidden destination may as well not exist.
Should a sidebar collapse?
On smaller screens, yes. Collapsing to icons gives the content its width back while keeping the navigation one click away, which matters most on a laptop.
Which tools work with this sidebar template?
Claude Code, Replit, Lovable, ChatGPT Codex, Bolt, and Cursor. Paste it in and describe your product's sections.
