Suggestion: Improve navigation from main page #280

Now one has to click on the left bar to open other pages. How about the most useful links are being shown in the main page? The attached screenshot shows the idea. Code copy-pasted from https://codepen.io/MattWindle/pen/perZRG

The image only describes the barebone view. The main page will provide the links which are required for new users. Like install, terminals, packages, environments etc. This is only to improve the navigation from main page. If this diminishes the usability then feel free to ignore the idea.

Those box thingy are inspired by https://www.fedoraproject.org/ and https://www.debian.org/

I'm not sure about the tiles, but I suppose we could highlight the most important resources on the home page. I imagine we could have something like this below the intro:

  1. install → scroll below
  2. update → updating
  3. ucrt64 or mingw64? → environments
  4. integrate with terminals or IDEs → terminals / IDEs

... and then almost the same instead of step 9:

  1. update → updating
  2. ucrt64 or mingw64? → environments
  3. integrate with terminals or IDEs → terminals / IDEs
