Create Example Tool landing page #6

Closed lwasser closed 7 years ago

lwasser commented 7 years ago

@mbjoseph can you please create a dummy tool landing .md page that describes a cool tool you've built with a link to it? I'll then create a template for posting it.

lwasser commented 7 years ago

@mbjoseph you will likely have more than 3 tools, correct?

mbjoseph commented 7 years ago

Definitely. As more are added I think it just creates new rows and keeps 3 columns/row.

ok -- you can do it this way but it's a bit less search engine savy as we don't have landing pages for each tool with an explanation of what they do and then links to git.

Check out the grid layout. If you create a page for each tool with a description and image in the YAML, we can generate landing pages per tool. this is a searchable thing on our site and can be placed into a grid. what do you think about that? that way we aren't curating a yaml list of things, rather pages with descriptive content about the tool.

That's nice looking - and I like that it doesn't clutter up the front matter. I'll take a stab at this and submit another PR.

lwasser commented 7 years ago

Sweet. I’m pretty happy he built that layout. I’ve always wanted it and tried several times unsuccessfully to create something that was responsive and nice ! Hipster genious.

Ok - I just merged the PR - how does this look? Can we close this issue?

lwasser commented 7 years ago

this page? looks awesome!!

How did you get the git build info for smapr to appear? that's some cool magic right there. I think down the road I may resize some of the banner graphics for the tool landing pages. But i say let's close this issue!!! yes! :)
