New theme? #31

Open ruebot opened 6 years ago

ruebot commented 6 years ago

If I push up a couple branches implementing some new themes, would y'all entertain changing it? I kinda don't like the one we use now.

Looking at:

lintool commented 6 years ago

This one is my favorite: https://themes.gohugo.io/hyde/

ianmilligan1 commented 6 years ago

I'm equal between https://themes.gohugo.io/hyde-hyde/ and https://themes.gohugo.io/hyde/. I kind of like how the former preserves our current kind of look and feel with a slight modern touch.

SamFritz commented 6 years ago

I'm happy to go with consensus on different theme. My only suggestion is that we change to one that still gives us the ability to anchor w/ headers, otherwise we will have long pages of content without users being able to navigate quickly to the sections that they need.

greebie commented 6 years ago

I'm good with hyde or hyde-hyde. Probably hyde-hyde only because I'm not crazy about the sidebar font, but it's not as if we can't change that if we want to.

I think this one might hit all our criteria, and be the easiest migration. Better use of screen real estate IMO, and it still has active development. Material Docs hasn't had a comment since spring of 2017.

ianmilligan1 commented 5 years ago

That's a nice theme! And similar layout so we'd keep the same rough feel of the site.

ruebot commented 5 years ago

Yes, that's my initial thoughts. It'll take a fair bit of work to port it over, but it can be done. Big thing with this one is it's all on one page basically. ...which would probably mean a lot of our urls would break. :thinking:

...maybe we just continue with the status quo :man_shrugging:

ianmilligan1 commented 5 years ago

Yeah, I think broken urls + time might mean continuing with status quo makes sense. If we moved to a one-page layout we’d need to reconsider where we host the AUT docs too I think (since they’re so long and the headers might dominate the menu bar).

I agree with the discussion above, as more and more it seems that our content and needs are outgrowing this template. Many thanks for all of the template suggestions provided!!

I am happy to dig into some more examples as I think having multiple pages or sections would provide a better user experience than a template that is a single page given the amount of our content.

Alternatively, if we prefer a single pager then we need to discuss information flow a bit more, and where other docs would need to live.

To be continued....

Updating this ticket to include some website templates I've looked at that I think could fit our project (where it is now, and facilitate future growth)
