Splits the navigation in two navbars... #189
Conversation
|
(without commenting on the merits of the change,) this needs rebasing before it can be tested |
* Makes the different projects more obvious. * Marks a clearer hierarchy in the website. In addition, since the DOM had to be manipulated, and we have a bit more space: * Re-adds github and twitter links for nixos project. The dropdown for the projects is, as a side-effect from manipulating the DOM, now gone from the mobile view. It is now a flat list of projects, followed by the page list of that specific section.

I think it looks like a pretty good idea, but the double gradient is a really bizarre to me. Maybe a visual change on that? |
|
Not a big fan because it's more cluttered and many of the projects are not really relevant for a first-time visitor. (E.g. why should they care about NixOps/Hydra/Disnix?) |
|
Following the argument of @edolstra, what about mentioning NixOps/Hydra/Disnix only on the startpage of nixos.org in the style of Declarative/Reliable/DevOps-friendly, Combine Nix and Nixpkgs (#199), add Package search to Nix homepage (#56) and move the Nix site to nix.org (that we might be able to buy). So NixOS users and Nix users on Linux and macOS have a different home. That way we get rid of the menu completely. (but break many links) |

Closing as this won't be accepted as-is. This was mostly an off-the-cuff proposal I did to gather opinions and comments. |
Description of the changes
In addition, since the DOM had to be manipulated, and we
have a bit more space:
The dropdown for the projects is, as a side-effect from manipulating
the DOM, now gone from the mobile view. It is now a flat list of
projects, followed by the page list of that specific section. This
may help with issues like #106.
Furthermore, with the added room, a direct link to the manual has been added to the NixOS website, like #134 and #188 proposes.
Motivation for the changes
This is to make the list of projects more approachable at a glance, and to make navigation more explicit between projects.
Though, another reason is that the horizontal real-estate was becoming a bit scarce, since the project name and the search box were present on the same row than the page list for the project. With this change, it is possible to add direct links to resources as needed.
