Thanks for mentioning that. I always wondered why there's no option to at least hide the most recent messages and dates (or temporarily hide the whole sidebar). I guess most people are either fine with it or use their phone instead (and using Signal-Desktop in public / when someone's looking is probably uncommon). It seems like at least Telegram-Desktop has this issue as well (not sure if there's an option for it).

Anyway, a slight modification to the UI to hide/minimize the sidebar would be something I'd appreciate for those rare situations.

I think it's a pretty common situation for someone to come up to your desk to talk about something they sent you earlier. Not rare for me at all.
