Description

Now one has to click on the left bar to open other pages. How about the most useful links are being shown in the main page? The attached screenshot shows the idea. Code copy-pasted from https://codepen.io/MattWindle/pen/perZRG

image

The image only describes the barebone view. The main page will provide the links which are required for new users. Like install, terminals, packages, environments etc. This is only to improve the navigation from main page. If this diminishes the usability then feel free to ignore the idea.

Research direction

Start at the homepage and existing left-bar navigation, using the attached screenshot and linked CodePen as references. Confirm the links needed by new users, including install, terminals, packages, and environments, and define the main-page navigation layout. Done means those links are available from the main page without relying on the left bar.
