#30072 (comment)

Certainly changing the theme can help, but, I think we could also trim the top-level navigation substantially.

Currently, it is "Plot types. User guide. Tutorials. Examples. Reference. Contribute. Releases"

I tried to look at Google analytics to see which of these is ever followed, but it seems to be broken (#30073). However, my assumption should be that users rarely need to go directly to "Plot Types" or "Releases". "Plot Types" is great, but could easily be referenced on the front page - I don't think folks need to reference this quickly from elsewhere in the docs. "Releases" - I can't see any need for this while elsewhere in the docs, and should probably just be an entry under users guide.

If it were me, I'd also change "Reference" to "API", but maybe we think that is too jargon-y.

For comparison, pandas is "Getting started User Guide. API reference Development Release notes"

Numpy is "User Guide. API reference. Building from source. Development. Release notes. Learn
More"
