News Theme needed

[JoshTango]

We don't have a theme for article sites. For example a site like medium.com or huffpost.com or a news article site where a bunch of authors write articles. Clean Blog is very blogish and not really a news article site. Please find a theme for news articles and add it as a default theme.

Here is a sample of a nice bootstrap template for articles:

The other thing to remember about these news sites is the article path would like like this:

www.mynewssite.com/@myusername/some-article-about-whatever

you need to have the @ symbol for the username

I think we can form the url like we want with the AutoroutePart liquid pattern. Though, not sure what having this in the url implies.

[JoshTango]

if you goto medium.com and other sites they are starting to use the @ symbol in front of usernames in the url This is different than a single blog site where there is only one user

Lets call it The News Theme

The best way to do this is to actually build one and extract the structure to a theme. Multiple authors news site can be quite complicated especially on the editing part.

[JoshTango]

Well now I didn't say you needed multiple editors, I know thats a whole new ball game

[dodyg]

I think the current editing UI is not friendly yet for long form editing. Baby steps.

[JoshTango]

Yeah I'm not impressed but that can come in future versions.

I just want the team to start thinking about a theme that a news site would feel comfortable with.
