Mobile UI Landing page #6

Closed WheresHJ closed 10 years ago

WheresHJ commented 10 years ago

This landing page accomplishes a few things - lets the driver quickly get into the functionality of the app, see where they currently are, and gives a brief explanation of the intended usage / misc info.

Clicking on the WILL THEY TOW ME button should fire the geolocation functionality. The links in the text should go as follows:

Is the little tow truck a FontAwesome icon?

thecristen commented 10 years ago

Also I wonder if desktop users could also benefit from having a similar landing page?

thecristen commented 10 years ago

I got most of the way through this on my own fork, sans cool truck icon, though I haven't tested it by opening the page with a mobile device. thecristen@629c714d2788cfd37790a0fb8dfcb433d03c69c9

WheresHJ commented 10 years ago

Tow truck is not in FontAwesome, it's from the Noun Project. I can make an image of it. And yes, definitely for desktop users as well - I had that tracked in the next milestone, since I thought mobile was a more primary use case (checking if your car is on a snow route while parking).

Do you want PNG or SVG for image?

thecristen commented 10 years ago

I like SVG, not sure if that's best (accessible, widely supported) choice?

calvinmetcalf commented 10 years ago

@WheresHJ give her an svg

@thecristen turn it into several pngs at the appropriate resolutions (a small normal one, a bigger one for retina)

WheresHJ commented 10 years ago

Ideally, I think we'd use an icon font, but that seems unnecessarily complicated for one image. I'll just send you the AI file, probably the best way to go.

@thecristen can you open an AI file (I can't on my computer)

thecristen commented 10 years ago

Yeah I can totally handle it once I go grab my laptop! — Cristen Jones Sent from Mailbox for iPhone
