Idea: A live page that doesn't exist in sidebar
Source: outline/outline#3887 · opened by @ReessKennedy
Reasons
Sidebar overwhelm:
If we have hundreds or thousands of pages, managing where to put them becomes a bit unwieldy! One solution is just have one "public" collection for all docs and don't worry about organzing and then you could link to them inside other collections from this public collection but this means, at some point when you open the collection, it will expand to show hundreds or thousands of pages in the sidebar.
Wikipedia Lesson
Wikipedia just encourages many pages but making inclusion in the sidebar selective and using the link as the main navigation tool.
Notion Implementation of this
I prefer outline to Notion BUT the ability to create a page, in notion, without it appearing in the sidebar is a nice feature.
