Clean up nav bar

[garikAsplund]

The navbar isn't super intuitive--from clicking to get drop downs, to some repeat info, it could be improved.

I think most devs expect there to just be a Discord and GitHub icon on the right towards the theme toggle. You can take the Donate section and move that to where Download is now since Download is the most prominent CTA already. Break out Docs and About and Mods and it would be so much cleaner. All the info you need right there, no clicking to see what's available.

I tried forking and working on it, but got some build errors 🤕

Are you able to post screenshots or something to explain this in more detail?

@taroj1205 I think they're suggesting removing drop-down menus in navbar so you don't have to click around to see where you can go. Minimizing things like the Github and Docs pages to just icons and then moving and removing certain parts (removing the download page because it's the hero part of the home page).

@KyleDL101 nailed it. Clicking for dropdowns versus hovering adds an extra step, but you could also just have it be so clean and dialed that there's just a menu bar without a need for submenus.

This screenshot technically has 3 different links to mods:

And here there are 2 donate buttons and 2 download buttons:

You could probably get away with simply

• Docs
• Mods
• About
• Social icons

And then add a release notes link elsewhere in the hero or somewhere else that makes sense.

One thing would be to update the footer as well--currently it doesn't match the nav links either.
