Screen real estate instructions missing
Many participants arrive to the Django Girls workshop with a laptop with very low screen resolution (e.g. 1280x768), and it's very inconvenient and frustrating for them to keep manually scrolling left-right and up-down for navigation.
One way to solve this problem is to reduce the amount of whitespace in the tutorial's CSS (or make it configurable). I'll file a separate issue for that.
My recommendation is extending the tutorial about using the screen efficiently, with recommendations like this:
-
Click on the gray
---
icon at the top left corner of the web page to hide the navigation menu. -
Use the gray
A
icon and then the smallA
link at the top left corner of the page to make the font size smaller so that more text fits on your the screen. -
Feel free to make your browser window showing the tutorial narrower, the tutorial will adjust to it.
For the English version, can you check whether #1495 (now live on https://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/) resolved this?
#1495 is a great improvement, but it doesn't directly address this issue: providing explicit hints on how to use small screens more efficiently.
