A lot of stutter in our left navigation

[dprotaso]

I was wondering if we should aim to clean up our navigation a little bit. I notice there is quite a bit of 'stutter' among the sections and subsections

Secondly, some navigation items appear to be 'nodes' that only group together a bunch of subtopics. This leads to excessive clicks to find content.

I don't know what the right solution is - but am looking for ideas.

Yes! I think we may need to write and/or refactor content to improve the navigation to allow us to reduce this stutter.

I also see that material mkdocs supports having bolded headers - some of them can be pages like 'Tutorials' and 'Changelog'. 'Getting Started' doesn't have a link.

Though - I guess you lose the indentation

Hi @evankanderson @dprotaso

Is this issue still open for contribution ?
there is a linked PR but it is dated earlier than the issue.

Hi,

This is still open for contribution. The referenced PR was being asked to avoid introducing more stutter, rather than cleaning up existing instances in the navigation.

Hey @evankanderson
Are there any specific reference that I can follow in my implementation?
Any design pattern that should be followed...as other CNCF projects.
Once I have clarity over the design pattern I can move ahead to resolving this nav issue.

Thank you.
