Description

  • The * syntax for partially applied types is introduced here without referring to the kind-projector plugin. It would be useful to add an explanatory comment in the code or a footnote linking to the plugin documentation.

  • Alternative which extends MonoidK is introduced before the latter. Should the sidebar show SemigroupK and MonoidK before Alternative?

Research direction

Start with the linked Applicative and Alternative documentation pages, then inspect their sidebar or navigation configuration in the repository. Check how the kind-projector syntax is explained and whether SemigroupK and MonoidK appear before Alternative. Done means the plugin is linked or explained and the sidebar order reflects the requested hierarchy.
