Rearrange elements for a more authentic experience #29

Open ghost opened 3 years ago

Currently the styleguide just displays one element after another in a long list down the page, each preceeded by a heading for that element.

I'm thinking we could instead make the layout more authentic by rearranging things so that it looks more like an actual website. Something like this perhaps: https://bootswatch.com/sandstone

For example, less this: image

And more this: image

Based on some of the other feature requests in this queue currently, I'm thinking that we may need to split things over different tabs/pages. So the primary tabs would be the different enabled themes (as they are now), and the secondary tabs would be different sets of elements (e.g. Common, Layouts, Comments, etc.) (currently the secondary tabs are just dummy links).

The reason I mention that here is that in case we can't reasonably fit all elements into a nice, new, authentic arrangement, we can still have the current top-to-bottom list of all elements on its own secondary tab (just not the main one).

Currently the tabs with names: First, Second, Third ... are not intuitive or descriptive of what they are.
