Don't hide the left sidebar at 76em
The left sidebar is hidden at around 76em. This is a relatively large window width even on desktop. Compare my two screenshots.
Thanks, I'll need to take look into this. I agree it is a bit over eager with hiding the side bar at large screen sizes.
So I spent some time looking over this. This behavior is coming from the framework and I would need to do some investigation about modifying this, and I am not completely sure what we would want to set it to at the moment if we did modify it.
Just for some context though other major documentation frameworks I looked at start to exhibit similar collapsing behavior between 1000-1280 pixels. MkDocs Material starts collapsing the side bar at 1220 pixels. This is a little on the higher side, but not abnormal.
| Framework | px Collapse Sidebar |
|---|---|
| Docusaurus | ~1000px |
| Apple Developer Docs | ~1000px |
| React Docs | ~1024px |
| MkDocs Material | 1220 px |
| Nextra | 1280px |
| GitHub Docs | 1280px |
Numbers not super scientific just looked at the px count in WebInspector
Perhaps the problem is really the dueling document outlines on the left and right sides, which is also kind of confusing.
The Apple developer docs only have an outline on the left side, and even when the outline is collapsed, the widget in the upper left corner can open it.
