style: sidebar spacing idea

[huntabyte]

This gives the individual nav items just a wee bit of padding on the y-axis (0.15rem) and reduces the spacing between the sections by 0.5rem. Feels a bit less squished. Just an idea!

Hmm, I'm not sure about this change. Adding padding to a is equivalent to changing the line height, and if there's one rules I've learned to trust in typography it's 'don't fuck with line height'. We use 1.5 consistently everywhere with this font, and if we start to add exceptions it will begin to look disjointed. I'm also just not sure that it's needed — I think low information density is one of the sins of modern web design.

As for the 3.5rem: this isn't exactly codified anywhere (it would be extremely generous to call what we have right now a 'design system') but a lot of the spacing on the site is 1rem, 2rem, 4rem... again I think things will be more harmonious overall if we try and stick to a small set of lengths rather than nudging it on an ad hoc basis

Copy all! I felt weird about the 3.5 but 2 felt cramped and 4 made the overflow scroll a bit longer with the extra item spacing. I'll go ahead and close this!
