What am i doing wrong?

Ok i figured it out, took me a good hour to debug, but your readme needs to be updated because in it you say :

If you wanted introduction.md, page1.md and page2.md to appear under their own section you could do this:

nav:
    - Start:
        - page1.md
        - page2.md
        - summary.md
    - ...

If i remove the "-" from changelog.md then it works

nav:
    - ...
    - "section 1" :
        changelog.md

but subsection dont work:

nav:
    - ...
    - "section 1" :
       "sub sect":
            - changelog.md

Is sub section even possible without making nested folders with each folder containing the .pages file?

The section in the readme you're referring to only applies to defining nav in mkdocs.yml.

Is sub section even possible without making nested folders with each folder containing the .pages file?

No, but this might change soon. I suggest you subscribe to #37 to get notified once the feature is available.

This is now possible in version 2.7.0
