• Navigation: Introduced a Sidebar (Hamburger Menu) for easier navigation between different settings menus.
• Wording Adjustments: Improved various UI text for better understanding and usability.

I'm still trying to work out the format I want for release notes so bear with me. I also hate writing them, but I love you. You're welcome.
