Open CIAvash opened 4 years ago
Because I don't want to waste people's time, I'd like to mention that the design is final, so I'm not looking for comments on how to change or improve the website. What I mean is I created a website, you can use it if you want to. I'm not spending more time on it.

OK, then first and foremost we need someone who'd be willing to work on it.
Feedback for whoever is going to work on it (don't take this too seriously, this is just my opinion):
text-shadow: 0 0.05rem 0.1rem rgba(0,0,0,0.5);

color doesn't look nice, maybe #d3df38
is just fine?Download

is gone?Generally it looks like a big improvement to me (when compared to the original website). It's just a little bit unpolished and these tiny details make it look a bit sloppy, but otherwise it's great.
@rba maybe you can already start hosting it on let's say https://new.raku.org ? This way more people will be able to look (and take it more seriously) :)
Yes I will start taking care for the hosting (more likely under https://stage.raku.org). To be honest I wouldn't find the time soon to work on the site or content itself. Yet I would like to work on a Dockerfile to make sure it will be containerized.
My feedback for the one who is like to pick this up:
Open for discussion...
I don't want things to be broken, so I fixed the download link and added the favicon.
For color blindness, I used the Firefox developer tool for this to make it at least OK, I don't know how much I succeeded.
@CIAvash++. Whoever ends up working in the website's design might draw some inspiration from the https://inko-lang.org/ website. I'm myself tweaking the CSS for a mirror of the documentation (https://rakudocs.gitlab.io/) but it still needs some work.
I started tweaking CIAvash's website and this is the result so far (https://uzluisf.github.io/raku-demo/). The main changes are
@uzluisf There is a collour that’s making it hard to read the code:

And, isn’t it too empty on the left side?
@FCO sorry your comment came in a bit mangled. I tried to fix it but probably made it a little bit worse. I think email replies don't come properly through your mail client or server.
I think @FCO mean this color issue:
And this wasted empty space on the left side:

@AlexDaniel, @FCO The color issue was being caused by the pre
tag's default color from Bootstrap and the Pyments theme's dark background. It was a matter of overriding it but it took me longer than anticipated to figure it out :-).
As for the somewhat empty left side, I've moved the code snippets below the description but there might still be some space below if the code snippet isn't that long. An alternative would be to grow the parent div's height accordingly but I'm not sure how to do that.
It seems it’s something missing on mobile…
A general nit-pick, the spelling of 'comming' should be 'coming' throughout the first page.
Any updates? Or any thoughts on how this can go forward?
Generally, it looks pretty nice, but the layout is sloppy and there are some bugs. I don't think we can switch to it now, at least not without a maintainer who'd be willing to work on it.
That's visible now, thanks!
@CIAvash as you mentioned this issue, have you been working on this project lately?
@vrurg Yes, mostly bug fixes, some changes(URLs, content and small style changes) and additions(Links and examples). Nothing big, just tried to keep it stable.
I think it's hard to keep the docs sites and the raku.org site separate. Even though the "core" Raku site has much less (and much easier-to-manage) content, I still think they should integrate much more fluently.
I think this site is a reasonable improvement over the raku.org - that's why I'm trying to integrate some content from it - however I don't really like the "tech stack" for one. I don't know if it's worth switching a Perl dependency to a Go dependency.
Overall, it would be good to see any step towards a decision. My personal opinion is that it shouldn't replace raku.org, however the "translations" list could be rephrased into "community-maintained sites" and it would be good to see it there. It could also be used as a reference for improvements in the official raku.org site.
I created a website for Raku. You can view the
