Sidebars take up too much space on vertical displays.

The Problem

All screenshots were taken on a 3840x2160 display in Firefox zoomet to 130%.

Lets first have a look at the docs on a regular horizontal display. Looks good and nicely readable.

Dgraph - horizontal


On the other hand the vertical version is very ugly and hard to read. The actual documentation take up only one third of the available screenspace.

As a comparison here is a screenshot of the Rust Book. It is way more readable.

Possible solutions

If both sidebars ("On This Page" and the left one) could be hidden manually, the actual documentation could take up all screenspace. Interestingly the left sidebar automatically hides in the following screenshot.
