Thing is you don’t need dividers if you have proper spacing. No one will ever get confused thinking « wait is it the content or the sidebar? » because it’s not only obvious, but completely intuitive and unambiguous.

Yes it does, if the spacing is right. https://i.ibb.co/qJgzs9J/Capture-d-e-cran-2023-01-30-a-11-30-49.png https://i.ibb.co/qJgzs9J/Capture-d-e-cran-2023-01-30-a-11-30...
