Add notice about vote #1175

Open xaur opened 5 years ago

xaur commented 5 years ago

dcrdata's home page could contribute to voter awareness by informing visitors that consensus vote is upcoming/ongoing/passed, together with a nearest relevant timestamp of vote start/end/activation.

Optionally, link to vote.decred.org or github release to download.

One way to implement it is add a thin banner on top as outlined in decred/dcrweb#579. Another way is to insert a small label between Decred logo and the search bar (this will save vertical space compared to inserting a banner on top).

The notice must be very visible.

An evolution of this idea is to also have a short label with most important bits of Politeia status (e.g. 3 proposals ready for vote).

Inspired by @buck54321's comment:

The information on voting.decred.org should also be available through dcrdata. We should also be displaying some distillation on the homepage. Even casual visitors should know that right now a vote has been triggered and voting commences in ~14 days.

I'd expect a homepage display of some type by 4.1

Maybe 4.2 if not 4.1. A goal of mine is to limit release scope, especially for minor releases, and increase deployment frequency. As such, the 4.1 milestone will be closed to new features rather soon, so this would have to happen in the next week or two, otherwise 4.2.

Looks like this one got lost in the shuffle. It should be considered in https://github.com/decred/dcrdata/issues/1544

Goot timing! Is it possible to insert some quickly hacked notice to leverage dcrdata for the upcoming 1.5 consensus vote?
