Easy config option for showing sidebar by default?

[daguar]

I've been looking through the CSS (I'm not much of a front-end guy) and was wondering if there is an easy way to make the sidebar ("drawer") visible by default.

Is there a simple way to do this with a CSS tweak?

It seems like this would be a great thing to make an documented config option, and I'm happy to PR the README if anyone has some direction on how to go about it.

This is an excellent, beautiful theme -- thanks so much for building it!

@daguar it's actually quite simple to show the sidebar by default in Lanyon.
The sidebar/drawer is triggered by a simple checkbox found in the top of _includes/sidebar.html, to show the sidebar by default simply add the boolean checked to the element:

<input type="checkbox" class="sidebar-checkbox" id="sidebar-checkbox" checked>

This will of course still push the content to the right, but the sidebar will be shown by default. ✔️

Yeah, what @matiassingers said works fine. However, if you want a sidebar visible all the time without moving the content, check out Hyde.
