🔖 Feature description

The addition of a logout button to the navigation bar next to the settings button

✔️ Solution

This would provide an easy way for the user to log out of the interface without having to go into settings first. It is confusing for first time users of the interface that the logout button is located in the settings. With most other web apps, the logout button is located either in the nav bar it's self or in a profile dropdown accessible from the navbar (think GitHub). By placing it in the settings it is harder for a user to find as many probably wouldn't expect the logout button to be with the security settings. By placing it in the taskbar it allows the user to easily and quickly log out of the interface from any of the dashboard pages.

❓ Alternatives

Whilst it would be possible to just leave the logout button in the security section of the settings, this is hard to find for first time users and isn't very convinient as it takes 3 clicks to logout compared to only one if the button is also placed in the navbar.

📝 Additional Context

Perhaps something like this:

I would be willing to have a go at implementing this feature.
