Description

The sidebar is not done yet.

We want a lean design, without the arrows and mobile support.

Observations

Image

The menu items are pretty small and hard to hit with a finger on small mobile devices.


Image

To uncollapse a menu item one has to hit the small, pink highlighted area. That is really hard. It would be better if all menu items are uncollapsed by default.


Image

Menu items without child pages have a collapse button which has no functionality

Start by reproducing the sidebar behavior shown in the screenshots and locating its implementation; done means a lean sidebar without arrows or nonfunctional collapse buttons, with menu items expanded by default, while the intended mobile behavior is clarified.
