This is nice. Unfortunately it does not work on devices with touch interfaces.
When you develop the next cool widget, consider that a large part of the web is now mobile. So that means no hovering, no mouse.
Deal with that.

Deal with that.
1. Show a grid of icons that let you navigate to various parts of the app on a flat hierarchy. Facebook used to do this and now many other apps copied their approach. This nav menu is typically the root view in a navigation hierarchy.
2. Show a tableview where each row shows a different part of the app, you tap to go there. This is also the root view in a nav hierarchy but you can group table rows under headings to essentially get 2-levels showing at once.
Should a dropdown menu creator also make the decision of how to reorganize the dropdowns to work on mobile? No. The decision of how one will display a similar navigational structure on their mobile app is very personal, very rooted to how they currently structure the interface on their mobile app or website.
