> Are you considering converting the documentation pages to responsive design too? Unless someone volunteers to do this it likely won't happen any time soon.

> Are you considering converting the documentation pages to responsive design too? Unless someone volunteers to do this it likely won't happen any time soon. As for the continuity. Not all pages can have the same "section" style, the documentation page for example is just composed of a list of links and descriptions. Of course, if you have ideas on how to improve the continuity then I'm all ears :)

> Not all pages can have the same "section" style, But they can have the same CSS styling (colors, fonts, responsiveness, etc) that ties the whole site together. A good example that's at the top of my mind is this: https://hugodocs.info https://hugodocs.info It works great on desktop as well as phone, and a common theme is seen all across the site. > the documentation page for example is just composed of a list of links and descriptions. By the documentation page, I meant a page like this: https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html That's a lot of good info but is not accessible in a good way on phone. For sort of an equivalent reference, see https://hugodocs.info/templates/base/ https://hugodocs.info/templates/base/ It has a similar collection of help pages and the design is responsive too.

I might be missing something but the website you linked has only two pages and I would consider them to lack continuity even more than the current Nim website. The layout for the "docs" page is completely different to the home page. > By the documentation page, I meant a page like this: https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html Oh I understand where you're coming from a bit more now. Everything under the `docs/` is sort of separate, it's part of Nim's doc gen generator and thus has a different style associated with it. But I can see why you think it loses continuity.

I've just submitted a tiny PR¹ that makes docs a bit mobile-friendlier. It turns out that the docs template already uses media queries to rebuild the layout for smaller screens, it's just that these queries are not triggered on mobile.
