Hi Jeremy, Many thanks for your clarification! I love the sidebar and I use it alot! As you said we have the main story river from top left of the page where we focus to read!
The empty.html itself (simplicity, clean UI, small story river and big sidebar) is like a fresh air and I always start with it for any new project. I think we need demos/experiences to be shared about how one can effectively and successfully use different elements!
