8 months ago Cool yeah I welcome outside help as long as its good quality and makes sense and stuff! This project is a lot of Bootstrap 5 for css. Have you ever worked with Bootstrap before? Its not very hard to use, that's why I went with it. https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/getting-started/introduction/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qfEOE4vtxE
Tbh my approach to the frontend on this project has mostly been practical / pragmatic. Like mostly about just making something that works. I do try to make it look nice too but yeah my frontend skillz are a little weak.
All that to say if you see something on one of the pages that you think could be fixed up or made prettier, I'm all ears! If its just something small and you just want to submit a pull request we can work on it from there. Anything bigger we should probably discuss more first. Plus am one man so can only review pr's of a certain size. Think 'ship of Theseus' = good, 'remake whole ship at once' = bad.
Or let me know if you have any questions before jumping into development! We can communicate on here or through some other channel first to talk about changes or just how to use the app in dev mode. I'm down for that. If you've got some good ideas, we can get a pull request submitted to the latest dev branch!
Here's the current dev branch. https://github.com/BlueSquare23/web-lgsm/tree/dev-beta-1.5
For python Flask apps the html is going to be down in the templates directory.
https://github.com/BlueSquare23/web-lgsm/tree/dev-beta-1.5/app/templates
You can find the css/js for the project down in the static dir. (But yeah like I said lots of bootstrap so not a lot of vanilla css/js). https://github.com/BlueSquare23/web-lgsm/tree/dev-beta-1.5/app/static
If you run ./scripts/debug.py from the main web-lgsm dir. That'll start the app in dev mode in your terminal! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Oh also you may see some Jinja2 syntax in the html files. If you're not familiar with Jinja it's the templating language that flask uses. Its basically just python embedded in html. I don't think you'll really have to mess with that much if you're just interesting in changing html/css, but its good to know what that is. https://pypi.org/project/Jinja2/ https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/3.1.x/
