Parrot
I have one client who has a corporate site. He actively uses his website to promote the services of the company and constantly changes something in it (to be precise, he asks me to change), moves menu items, changes the names of items, sizes, lowers something higher, something lower, removes something, adds something. Observing and directly participating in all this navigation whistleblow, which is supposed to make the site more convenient and efficient, I came up with the idea of ​​navigation similar to the tag cloud. The working title is either a fun version of “parrot” (from the words “popular” and “navigation”), or a more serious UGN (User Generated Navigation).
The main idea is that the menu items automatically change the order and size based on how often users click on them. Those. if people most often click on the “production” link, then it automatically becomes the first and largest font in the menu, and then descending, with only 5 of the most popular menu items (or submenus, if there are several levels of navigation), and we can hide the rest in the drop-down box “other links” (and there, too, can be sorted by popularity).
For sorting, you can use the ant algorithm , so that users, like ants, themselves plotted the best paths through the site, while it remains sensitive to changes in user behavior.

In addition, it would be interesting to make a system of through passages between pages. For example, if users from page A, as a result, transition chains often appear on page B, then on page A it would be possible to automatically generate a large link leading directly to page B. The idea of ​​through moves came to my mind when I noticed that while working, I very often switch between the same folders in different places, and it would be convenient to have a shortcut in each of these folders referring to a different destination folder in order to reduce the number of intermediate transitions.
It will be necessary to try to apply a parrot and pass-through moves on some site (for example, online stores in my opinion are well suited for this).
