## What it is
okayNav is a jQuery plugin that provides progressively responsive navigation, collapsing navigation links into an off-screen menu one at a time as space shrinks instead of switching wholesale between desktop and mobile states. It is a legacy implementation, with a 3.0 version in development on a separate branch.

## Use cases
- progressively collapse nav links into an off-screen menu on small screens
- add a responsive navigation bar to a jQuery website
- avoid extra clicks to reach important pages on mobile
- customize responsive nav behavior with open/close callbacks and swipe support
- style a collapsible header navigation with LESS or CSS

## When to choose
- you already use jQuery and want a simple progressive-collapsing navigation
- you need fine-grained control over which nav items collapse and when
- you need IE9+ browser support

## When to avoid
- you are starting a modern project without jQuery
- you need an actively developed solution - the repo is legacy and releases stopped in 2019
- you need a full mobile menu framework rather than a nav collapsing plugin
