More fine-tuning! To accommodate non-maximized meeting windows, I've now:

✅ Increased font size (via URL parameter) for the session guide
✅ Removed the (optionally visible) sidebar

Maximum readability for split-screen viewing 👇🏼

A real Docsify-This "flex" for the session itself!

I'll also use a split tab view during the session, so participants can see BOTH where we are at in the guide and live Docsify-This pages together.

Working on a new release of all of my Docsify.js.org Starter Kits, which will include a range of accessibility improvements.

In addition, updated examples of dual CSS styles, for example where a standalone site can have one visual style and the SAME embedded content can have another via custom CSS👀

💡 Now there's even a faster way to have Docsify-This turn a #Markdown file hosted on GitHub or Codeberg into a web page to share or embed!
