Meny is an off-canvas, edge-triggered menu concept that slides into view when the user moves the mouse to the edge of the screen or performs a similar gesture. It was created to explore more playful and discoverable navigation than the usual hamburger menu, especially on large screens. The menu itself lives off-screen and is revealed with a smooth CSS transform, leaving most of the page untouched. Because it’s just HTML, CSS, and a bit of JavaScript, it’s easy to restyle for sidebars, tool palettes, or documentation navigation. Meny works particularly well on interactive sites, demos, or dashboards where you want quick access to options without permanent UI clutter. It’s a good example of “progressive” navigation: always there, but not always visible.
