Remove the touchscreen sidebar section
Two pages linked to it, so those links go as well rather than being left pointing at an anchor that no longer exists. The shorter version on the app installation page stands on its own.

Open WebUI tracks read state per chat and updates it when you open a conversation, so unread indicators stay in sync across sessions. Opening a chat clears its unread mark, and the folder counts, in your other open windows right away.

On a narrow screen the sidebar slides in over the conversation rather than sitting beside it, and it is driven by touch.

* **Swipe it open and closed**: drag right with one finger to pull the sidebar in, left to push it away. It follows your finger the whole way and the conversation behind it darkens as it comes, so you can see how far you have got and change your mind half way. Let go part way and it settles to wherever you were heading: a short drag springs back, a longer one carries through. A quick flick settles it either way, however far you dragged.

* **Where a swipe can start**: an opening swipe can start anywhere on the screen except the very edge, so an edge swipe still reaches your browser or phone. Closing has no such restriction.

* **What a swipe leaves alone**: a drag that is mostly vertical scrolls the page as usual, and a drag that starts on a text field, a button or an open menu does nothing to the sidebar. If your device is set to reduce motion, the sidebar jumps to its end position instead of sliding.

* **Chat actions without hovering**: every chat in the list carries its own three-dot menu (⋯), always visible, so renaming, pinning, moving, sharing, downloading, archiving and deleting are one tap away. It sits where the "time ago" label goes, so those rows show the menu instead of a timestamp. **Delete** is only in the menu if you are allowed to delete chats.

- **👁️ Sidebar Hover Previews**: Resting the pointer on a chat in the sidebar opens a small preview of its most recent messages, scrolled to the end, so you can identify a conversation without opening it. Only one preview is shown at a time, and moving to another row replaces it. Turn it off with **Chat Hover Previews** in **Settings > Interface > Chat** if you would rather have a quiet sidebar, are sharing your screen, or are on a connection slow enough that the previews lag. Previews need a pointer, so they do not appear on a touchscreen.
