Oops, I did not consider that the stylesheet is not exclusively used on
the docs section of the site. Unfortunately I don't see a good way to
have my changes apply only there.

Personally I wouldn't mind getting rid of the sticky property of the
navigation bar site-wide, which would solve the issue you've pointed
out. However, I wouldn't want to impose on the promotional part of the
site and this only really bothers me on the docs. Which is why I
submitted the patch in the first place :)

In any case, thank you for reviewing the patch.

Well, as it is, the navigation bar on mobile only contains the logo and
a hamburger menu. It seems quite useless to me to have that stuck to the
top of the screen, especially considering that mobile screens are small.
