Context-Aware Dynamic Footer Links
The current footer is identical across most SIMKL pages and feels repetitive. It would be great if it became context-aware, showing useful links based on the section you're browsing.
(At least, for regular SIMKL members, who are familiar with the website)
This would make the footer more useful, improve content discovery, and give each section of SIMKL a more dynamic feel without changing the main UI.
Instead of displaying the same links everywhere, why not make the footer context-aware and adapt based on the section the user is currently browsing?
Examples:
🎬 Movies
- Top 100 Movies
- Most Anticipated
- Most Rewatched
- Popular Movies Lists
📺 TV Shows
- Trending Series
- Binge-worthy Recommendations
- Popular Networks
- Mini-Series
- Completed Shows
- Genre Shortcuts
🌸 Anime
- Most Anticipated Anime
- Popular Dubbed Anime
- Popular Subbed Anime
- Top Filler Episode Guides
- Highest Rated OVAs & Movies
- Studio Pages (MAPPA, Kyoto Animation, Bones, etc.)
For pages like Settings, Apps, or Developers, the default footer can remain or display relevant shortcuts.
Bonus Ideas
- Random Movie/TV/Anime button
- Trending Now widget
- "Did You Know?" SIMKL tips
- VIP option to customise footer links/modules
Why This Would Be Useful
- Makes the footer feel alive instead of static.
- Improves discoverability of SIMKL features and curated content.
- Encourages users to explore more pages naturally.
- Reduces navigation friction without changing the main UI.
- Gives VIP users another meaningful customization option.
- Adds personality to the website while making good use of otherwise repetitive space.
Every page already knows its context (Movies, TV, Anime, Profile, Lists, etc.), so the footer can surface the most relevant shortcuts and discovery features for that context, making the site feel more dynamic and helpful without requiring any major layout changes.
