@Goles Hi, I made this thread for discussing creating the Web site. I think I first invite you as a member of the divshot.

Discuss here how to manage them and what we should put on the site.

I know that everyone has their main job so just take your time and do not feel that this is "must" thing. Please do it when you have enough time. Thanks.

Goles commented 9 years ago

Hey Juggler!

Will take a look tomorrow morning ;)

Cheers, Nico.

@JugglerShu

Hey there, I took a look :+1:

I made a divshot account (connected with Github, says my account name is "Nicolas Goles").

Feel free to invite me so I can take a look at the source etc.

JugglerShu commented 9 years ago

Thanks @Goles . I still do not know how to add you as a member of XVim project in Divshot. Let me know if you know how. (I'm trying to find a page managing members but can't find one...)

Goles commented 9 years ago

Hey Juggler, will take a look and tell you what I find out.... I'm at work right now so I'll take a look at it in the afternoon :+1:

JugglerShu commented 9 years ago

@Goles You are now added to XVim project in DivShot as a member. @antmd has created first easy template of the web site. You are freely change the web site as you want. (Logo is also created by @antmd).

And I'm gonna create Github organization for XVim.

Goles commented 9 years ago

Hey Juggler,

Great, I like the template. I will probably start adding some content and modifying the template if necessary.

What would the proper place to discuss what topics to include in the website?

JugglerShu commented 9 years ago

it depends on how we are going to manage the website. I do not know well about divshot but if it has some platform to discuss we can use it. Or if it is better to create new github repo to keep site content we may use issues page github has.

I didn't know about https://pages.github.com https://pages.github.com/... without trying it, it looks like a better solution for a simple XVim website.

@goles, feel free to start from scratch on a new 'xvim.github.io', or to carry on on divshot for now: as I understand it, either can be sync'd at a later date using their respective CLIs (in the case of GitHub, git is the CLI).

If you want to go with GitHub Pages, I can re-point the CNAME so that www.xvim.org http://www.xvim.org/ goes there.

Goles commented 9 years ago

@antmd Great, will do that :)

I'll work on it this weekend :+1:

Goles commented 9 years ago

Hey guys,

been doing some initial work by using github pages. I propose something simple, there are several pre-made templates, so we could actually use one of those.

Initial Proposal

I would like to know if you guys think this is the right way to go?

I mean, the README.md is a good more detailed reference to the project. I think the website should be pretty simple, so I would like to know what other sections would you like me to add (or remove).

Another possibility would be to add some animated gifs showing up some functionality?

Let me know, I'm open to all sort of ideas :+1:

JugglerShu commented 9 years ago

@Goles Thanks for the work. What I want with them are

Some images of how XVim looks like (Yea, animated gif would be fine )
Tips and FAQ's
Twitter timeline searched by #XVim

For the Tips, I want to explain some features XVim has but Vim does not (suchas .xvimrc, :xccmd) For the FAQ, I'll provide some information like

Why XVim does not work on newly released Xcode (Need to add UUID)
Why my key mapping does not work ( It's mainly because Xcode has the same mapping to other feature so you must turn it off first)
My favorite Vim feature does not work. Why? ( See FetureList.md first and if you cannot find the feature in it XVim does not have that feature. Create an issue on Github so that it is to be implemented.)

If you have any information you think usuful to usual users feel free to add such info to Tips, FAQ or other pages.

Thanks!

Goles commented 9 years ago

Great! Will add those today and I'll post several screenshots in several themes so we can discuss which one looks better :+1:

Cheers!

Goles commented 9 years ago

Hey guys,

The website is running at http://xvimproject.github.io/XVim, so check it out!

I couldn't embed the twitter search stream, I tried to do so by using a widget linked to my twitter account (@ngoles), but had issues. The stream didn't seem to load, so I'll look at it again later on.

Twitter generated the following snippet of code for a Search #XVim embedded timeline.

<a class="twitter-timeline" data-dnt="true" href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/XVim" data-widget-id="523961894839676928">#XVim Tweets</a> <script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+"://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");</script>

Anyway, check the website.

PS: We should point xvim.org to this URL

antmd commented 9 years ago

Hi @Goles,

I just added a CNAME file to the root of the gh-pages branch, and I re-configured the DNS with the provider...let's see if it works in a few hours when the changes propagate!

Good work on the website.

It seems the DNS setting has already been effective. Thank you for the great work!

Hey guys!

Thanks for the help with the DNS thing, I'll try to get the twitter thing going, but I like how it's looking now. I'll probably post it on Hacker News ;)

Anzumana commented 9 years ago

what happend to the original logic you put on the page i like that one a lot :)

JugglerShu commented 9 years ago

@Goles I do not know why but the web site (xvim.org) page has roll backed to the old one. Can you update the page?

Goles commented 9 years ago

I updated it, don't really know what happened.

Luckily I had a backup! :)

btw, I kinda stuck the logo in the website, maybe I should put a smaller version.

Cheers!!
