Summary

Sidebar menu is really overwhelming with the number of items. If we have a more logical structure users will not battle to find where to go and we don't have to show everything.

@dhtclk what are your thoughts on collapsing menu items by default to help reduce the cognitive load on users?

Another small improvement we can make is to remove the obnoxiously large margin between menu items. See for example the Docusaurus default menu item styling:

My personal feeling is that if content is organised very logically, having the top level items collapsed will be more useful to the user than if they are all expanded.
