Add news page #2

Closed GochoMugo closed 8 years ago

GochoMugo commented 8 years ago

A news page can be used to announce developments affecting the service, individual networks, etc.

Adding a news items should not warrant an app restart at all! Therefore, a remote data bucket should be used instead. This bucket may also be eventually be used for the actual data files in data/.

what's your actual plan for this?...

GochoMugo commented 8 years ago

I have not thought of a specific implementation, actually. What would you suggest?

GochoMugo commented 8 years ago

Implemented in v0.2.0

BransonGitomeh commented 8 years ago

md, perfect :smirk:

GochoMugo commented 8 years ago

I am actually planning on moving the files from web/_raw/ to docs/ so that they are readable through Github and the application. I really did not want to add databases or write HTML for this. Considering these documents may change rapidly, Markdown seems more manageable, don't you think?

BransonGitomeh commented 8 years ago

i totally agree, good work keeping the simplicity of the application, we should consider adding news for the upcomming features, maybe add disqus or facebook comments

GochoMugo commented 8 years ago

First, I dislike facebook, so no facebook here...

How about we add a link to view feature requests, say, https://github.com/forfuturellc/mmtc-ke/labels/feature%20request. This will help us avoid writing more code just to handle this use case. The same way, users may sign up in Disqus, let them sign up on Github and create an issue. Or send an email. What do you think?
