Adding some feedback on the site. The timeline on 'our network' page is a bit finicky on both mobile and desktop. Not sure what you can do to make this smoother given it may be limitatiosn of the plugin. At the moment each clickable element of the timeline is symbolised as a '1' - seems weird. Would be nice to click at any point of the timeline or have dates outlined. Also, it would be great to update my profile and links before​ it goes live

FYI here's the draft text for the Loomio update, due to go out after the site is published.

Feedback, as requested. This is what I could see on desktop

Home Page

• Briefly visible loading spinner in the top left; is this supposed to be here (is blue-ish on blue)?
• Top panel ("More people working on stuff"...) Sentence doesn't contain reference object. Suggestion: "Enspiral; more people working on stuff that matters". Also; I feel this section should stand out more from the other colored, clickable sections or perhaps be joined with "Network Overview", as that page repeats the same words as a title.
• "Network Overview" background img loaded after page render for me. Too high res?
• General colors
• Tweets: Can slider buttons be on either side if the tweet container, instead of on the right? Would make functionality clearer/more intuitive.

Network Overview Page

• +1 for removal of numbering on "Enspiral's Evolution" points. Simple bullets more accurate?
• Levels of Engagement Seciton; Suggestion: "Foundation Members - [Propose] ventures, [invite] contributors, and [introduce] new members"
• Timeline: Zoom out; should be able to see more nodes. Need "JANUARY"? No other months shown..

Ventures Page

• Align-center the filter options.
• Enspiral is a Venture of Enspiral? Self linking... Should be separate section of page entirely to accentuate the point that Enspiral's a product of its members; my understanding is that Enspiral isn't a company on its own. This point is made elsewhere, anyhow.
• Enspiral Services should have more than a repeat of the Enspiral logo as the image; is confusing.

People Page

• Link to people agreement could be let viewer know they're going to member handbook documentation, ie instead of 'here'.

  "Find out how Enspiral Contributors and Foundation Members join and relate to the network, and the expectations that come with participation in the collective [by referring to the member handbook]."

Places

• Addition of logos to spaces?

Get Involved

• Typo: "..hosts drinks on Fridays athat everyone.."

Contact

• Here there should be clear routes to Physical Locations & Ventures pages.
