are "Project description" or "Navigation" headers redundant?

[nschloe]

When checking out the new pypi.org project pages, I noticed two small things that might unnecessarily consume valuable vertical screen real estate, so I thought I mention it here. (Screenshot from https://pypi.org/project/pygmsh/.)

First off, the navigation sidebar says "Navigation". Is this really necessary?

The same goes for the "Project Description" header, with the same argument. I mean, obviously it's the project description. On top of that, the same wording is highlighted in the Navigation.

Removing both "Navigation" and "Project Description" gives more space to the actual content.

Third, I'm looking at the grey bar on the top. It's less obvious here, but it seems that one could save vertical screen real estate here by removing it. The "Manage Project" button could more into the blue and the short project description... Well, not sure.

Thanks for the suggestion, @nschloe. (Noting that this is related to the discussion in #1988, in that it's generally about the desire to condense the layout, which your suggestion about the grey bar connects to.)

Thanks for your feedback @nschloe. I'm going to set this as something to test in our upcoming user tests on this page.

I think I agree that the "Project Description" header is redundant and can probably go away.

Partly tackled in #3783, the "navigation" component is substituted by tabs and the gray bar is collapsed with the header.

"Project description" can easily be removed given it is now highlighted as the active tab.

One thing to consider here -> some screenreader users use headings as shortcuts to quickly move around the page, so there may be some value in retaining these for those users.
