Completely redesign the front page

[stared]

(If there is no-skunkworks approach, here is my jotting.)

The idea is to completely redesign the front page (now only a stub):

• css: arXiv -> bootstrap
  • I understand the nostalgia, but it is a wrong reason here
  • of course bootstrap is a starting point (nomen omen), not necessarily - the end goal
• UI:
  • KISS - it should be obvious from the first click how it works (fortunately, in our case it is easy)
  • things everything important should be seen on the first page (more pages only for extra info, like scrolling G+)
  • it should take one click to get to the actual paper page/pdf and the same - to get to the original discussion
  • aggregation of recommendations per topic, person or tag are our secondary function (from the user's perspective)
  • Title of the paper, instead of the first sentence (which is jusually "noise")
• New Users
  • It should be useful from first click (without singing in or "G+circling" anyone)
  • For new users, all recent recommendations should be visible (to be filtered by tags or people)

Side notes, when it comes to UI:

As of now it looks ugly, but will be getting better, hopefully:
