Sidebar

Starlight provides sidebar, but it has issues:

• it doesn’t preserve state (scroll, open/closed submenues) on page switch
• not possible to have root page for submenues

There are workarounds:

• starlight#971 ↗
• starlight#307 ↗

Further improvements

Starlight provides configurable sidebar, which is good enough for documentation. For digital garden we may want to use different approach, for example:

• file system tree (possible with built-in sidebar)
• tag list or articles grouped by tags
• articles grouped by date
• alphabetical list

Articles grouped by tags

• Directory#code-fences

  • Diagrams_support_in_markdown
  • Syntax_Highlighting
• Directory#component

  • Icons
  • Lazy_embeded_video

Articles grouped by date

• Directory2024
