Extract Layout / Theme for official Pico starter project

[rsyring]

I've been looking around for awhile for an HTML/CSS layout I could use that looked good and had a clean implementation of the header, optional nav sidebars, and footer.

There are plenty of those available for heavier frameworks like Bootstrap or paid templates that usually have a ton customizations that go against the grain of the framework. I was looking for something that would have sane/clean/minimal CSS but also look nice. Be easy to customize and add components too.

I liked the idea of Pico but it was a bit too minimal. I'm not a designer and spend most of my time on the backend. So getting the basics in place can be a challenge.

Then it dawned on me today while reading the Pico docs that the docs layout and theme were exactly what I'd been looking for. I need to tweak some colors but otherwise it's perfect!

Any interest in turning it into an official Pico theme/starter-project whatever we want to call it? I.e. just make it easier to start a project with the Pico docs layout/css and some basic JS without needing to buy into all the other libs the docs project needs.

Agree w/ @rsyring. 'Because picocss.com looks amazing and beautiful, I decided to start using picocss rather than matcha.css and, just now, I discovered picocss.com uses its own styling not part of picocss. I wish somehow I could have the picocss.com layout styles to build things with that same look

As a user it might be nice if narrow single and two-column layouts included "next" and "previous" links to quickly page through content. I don't know if its possible to include such links in an aesthetically pleasing way that blends with the picocss layout. Microsoft's documentation pages use a similar columnal-layout, but also do not include next|prev links https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot/tutorial-iot-industrial-solution-architecture
