While I really cherish the ’box’ design (which compliment’s the main website), but I think presenting the user with 4 choices straightaway on the first screen increases the cognitive load. From the perspective of a user, as the number of choices rises, the reaction time increases. Delivering a good user experience requires that first, we find out the functionalities that will answer the needs of the users; second, we need to guide them to the specific functions they need most. We can do some UX research within the community to find out about the same. A solution can be using tabs for navigation. Also, I think that the Hamburger menu has some redundant options. We can attempt to clean it up a bit.

There's no possible way to navigate between four main entities (Magazine, Social, Ask, Calendar); user has to go "back" to "home" screen and navigate again. Moreover, on the product pages, this problem could have been solved using "hamburger menu", but that feature has been removed.

Solution The hamburger menu can be provided on each screen to navigate back to home screen (primary source), or to its subcategories (secondary sub-categories: Magazine/Forum/Social/Calendar/Women)

Yes, the navigation flow needs to be changed.

If you use separate tabs on a bottom navigation bar for each category, you can jump to each category in one click. No need to go back to home screen. That was the main reason I proposed the use of tabs in the first place.
Fixed in #69
