All the top knowledge base products like Gitbook, Confluence, Readme, etc. have a similar navigational layout with a side-bar menu.
There's a reason too:
Sidebar Nav menu's are more developer friendly for technical docs. Things are easier to find quickly.
FEATURE REQUEST: Add the ability to change the navigational layout to have a sidebar menu like Gitbook.
Nothing else would need to be changed, Ortto already has all the features we need to make it work and organize it. All that's needed is to have the option to shift the layout.
Why it's a good idea:
  • One simple "layout change" will open up a whole new product category.
  • Competing products (like Intercom) don't have this.
  • It's a big selling point for SAAS customers like us.
  • Sidebar menu navigation makes things easier to find.
  • It will allow customers to save more money. They can cancel Gitbook / Confluence subscriptions and just use Ortto instead.
