Adding Sidebar Support #20

Open Mazino-Urek opened 2 years ago

It is a beautiful theme. Let me thank you for that first.

I am trying to use this theme for my personal blog. I have some feedback based on my extensive search for finding the perfect theme for my use case. Furthermore, I am going to reference some other websites for example.

Sidebar: Blist theme has lots of open space, and a sidebar can help with navigation. Let's see Rust Cookbook. image

You might say it is a book, but it has a hidden trick up its sleeve. It can hide it completely by a button. image Simple but effective. For this theme, I think a floating button might work(just throwing ideas).

I am going to give another example that is more close to this project. Blonde Theme has a sidebar that is a bit crowded.

It is a bit too much, but it works! I hope you got my point. For big displays, a sidebar can help with navigation and help discover new writings.

Kindly, don't take my words as criticism. I am just giving my point of view. Thank you!

Another addition, previous and next article link at the end of the page can also be an excellent addition. It can be seen at the end of this page. image
