Product inspiration

The following projects informed product discovery, administrator workflows, or presentation choices. Brand Navigation does not incorporate source code from these projects merely because they inspired a feature or demonstrated a common Discourse theme-component pattern.

Discourse Brand Header demonstrated a distinct, site-wide brand surface.
Discourse Header Submenus demonstrated structured header navigation and exposed administration and usability concerns that Brand Navigation addresses independently.
Pavilion Dropdown Header informed exploration of descriptive dropdown presentation and coexistence with other header components.
Custom Header Links (icons) demonstrated compact, accessible destinations registered in Discourse’s core header.

Historical implementation study

Brand Navigation’s core-header icon integration uses Discourse’s documented api.headerIcons API. During development, an early implementation adapted the narrow curryComponent registration pattern used by Custom Header Links (icons). Before the first tagged release, that implementation was replaced by an independently authored lexical component factory.
