Current website does not represent the project well enough #45

sleepy.bike website lacks information about for who it is built, why and how.

Here we gather resources to facilitate discussion about the content and design we want to present on the main page. It is a Work In Progress, feel free to add and edit what is below.


The page should present some basic information about the community it is serving and the project in general.

There are two dimentions/perspectives: users and contributors that create two intertwined communities we want to serve. We need to keep them both in mind and try to find good balance between them.

The page should answer questions:

Have a logo and speak our values.

What are our values? Trust built on transparency, Openness (open finances, open source, open governance (democratic, well described and followed), open collaboration of volunteers, open communication with members (user-centric))

Do we want to have a tag line (aka short description)? What would it be?

How much of a background story of the project to present? Do we want to write about Solid or keep it as a technical / internal architecture choice?


Some of the user researchish information that we have, to get some insights into the bicycle touring community preferences: What do we know about bicycle touring community, based on the survey and our own experiances

Would be cool to keep it minimalistic, I like the low-tech feeling of a hand-drawn by pencil only, single line pictures.

A logo that Michal made (it is great!):

Would be nice to have more chain pieces, like a community of diverse, yet connected together, people. Somewhere.

Maybe one of them could have rainbow eyelashes or a rainbow iris, when they blink with the eyes. Cultural and gender diversity, what others?

Maybe black as in the night? Or switching modes.

Nice logos that Parnia made:

A pad with a draft (by @TMC89).

Maybe it can go as an About page, @mrkvon?
