Confusing organization of the website / project #13

Closed Nodragem closed 6 years ago

Nodragem commented 6 years ago

Hello,

I started to use DragonBones Pro yesterday and I am quite impressed and happy to use it. Thank you for all your hard work.

However, I think that the organisation of the project/website is a big confusing.

For instance: 1) I did not find any link to the source code repository of Dragon Bones Pro. I went on Github and I found this: https://github.com/DragonBones However, I am not sure which of these repositories is the actual DragonBones Pro software.

2) Consequently, I do not know where to post my issue reports or pull requests related to DragonBones. I tried this repository, but I am really not sure that this is the right place :)

3) Finally, I did not find any link to the documentation on the official website. In fact, in the English version, in the tab LEARN, we can find a link called 'documents' which sends you to Github (https://github.com/DragonBones again), which is rather useless/confusing. I would suggest to add a link to the 'documentation' :) which I found here: http://edn.egret.com/en/index.php/article/index/id/496

4) At the moment, the official English forum is accessible either 1) once you clicked on the tab BLOG in the official website (http://dragonbones.com/en/index.html) or 2) through the link called 'community' in the tab LEARN. Maybe a more relevant organisation would be to add a tab COMMUNITY on the main webpage, in these tab, you would group links to: the forum, the FB group, the twitter group and any other groups.

5) the table that summarises the different engines supported (http://blog.dragonbones.com/en/engine-support) is a really good idea, but it is too well hidden: maybe try to add a link to it on the main webpage.

I hope my feedback is helpful :) again your software is great, keep it up!

Thank you Nodragem! Your feedback is very helpful for us~

  1. DragonBones Pro is not open source, so you cannot find it on git. Runtime of DragonBones and Data format of DragonBones is open source.

  2. You can post issue here, in git.

  3. I have updated the links of document. But the documentation link that you find still an old one. We do not have time to update it to the latest.

  4. The English forum links to starling forum. We will make a revision of the main webpage.

  5. Also this will be refine when main webpage revision.

Thanks for you great support~

Concerning 3., the current doc is already helpful and the demos are useful. But, do not under-estimate the importance of the doc, it is quite essential for users :)

Here another random idea: maybe you could show off the demos on the website. A bit like Phaser's examples section: https://phaser.io/examples/v2/input/bounds-sprite Where you see the code and the running demo. But that would probably ask a lot of work :/

Anyway, good luck with the revision of the main webpage.
