Re:In Praise of the Unambiguous Click Menu

It's hard to get a good solution on mobile.
Seems most solutions either expand like accordion, which makes accidental clicks (especially when they animate for like 1s). Same issue as an 'overlay' z-indexed over the navigation. Simply expanding can take up the whole screen, i've seen a lot of 'side navigation' that expands right, or a hamburger that goes full screen. I don't like those...
And it seems less accessible for screen readers if it's not actual selects? Maybe not with good aria hints
I have been experimenting with using actual selects for a current plugin tool I'm building.
If anyone has good examples to build on?
Trying to combine the nice desktop styling of this codepen, with an actual mobile os select ux.
