404 page #103

Closed marcelgerber closed 10 years ago

marcelgerber commented 10 years ago

Adds a custom 404 page to Brackets.

Screen (@larz0):

larz0 commented 10 years ago

@njx @MarcelGerber how about something shorter like:

404 because the page can't be found

Check the URL or go to the Homepage.

njx commented 10 years ago

I kind of like the funny tone of the original (although I feel like I've seen the "404. That's an error." tagline somewhere else before, so we might want to come up with something different). But yeah, shorter would be good.

larz0 commented 10 years ago

Maybe we can show different 404 messages randomly if @MarcelGerber also wants to have fun :)

larz0 commented 10 years ago

"You found our 404 page!"

peterflynn commented 10 years ago

@njx Yeah, that string is from somewhere else -- I think Google uses it on all their sites? Personally, I've never liked it though -- it's always come across a little supercilious to me... I think we could have a more friendly tone.

njx commented 10 years ago

Yup, that's kind of what I was thinking.

peterflynn commented 10 years ago

@larz0 Haha, I like that last suggestion

"Dead Link. You may know that from Zelda."

CONTENT WARNING PLZ

404 (WARNING: GRAPHIC)

marcelgerber commented 10 years ago

Guys, I can change the (any) text to anything you want, but I need to know what to change it to :cat:

@peterflynn Yes, it's Google. See http://google.com/404

larz0 commented 10 years ago

@MarcelGerber for now could you use:

You found our 404 page!

Check if you have the right URL or go to the Homepage.

marcelgerber commented 10 years ago

@larz0 Done.

njx commented 10 years ago

Sounds good and not at all traumatic.

larz0 commented 10 years ago

Hehe cool. I'm going to merge this :+1:

marcelgerber commented 10 years ago

Works. Now the only thing missing is our custom 418 page (I'm a teapot) :laughing:

The robot in the graphic in the Google 404 page looks like the Brackets self-help robot gone wrong:

@lkcampbell We actually have that image on the server already: http://brackets.io/img/bg-brackey-bot.jpg At first, I wanted to use it (probably inspired by the Google 404 page -- I took a look at some other 404 pages, of both well-known and rather unknown websites, to get inspired), but then I noticed it has a white background (instead of a transparent one) and therefore doesn't fit into a blue background.
