5 years ago Why I think the changes are better.
Current design:
- Thick box shadows Page doesn't look as clean as it could
- Small width for main container Adding any html element without touching the template makes it look squashed
- Centered main container It gives me the feel of a popup rather than a web app
Proposed design:
- Minimal box shadows Cleaner design -Bigger container width More room for html elements
- Navbar To give a website feel (see React default app for example)
Comparison:
When a developer starts edge for the first time, they will inevitably see the default template. I think that the latter should serve the purpose of a book cover or a business card in that it should convey values like robustness, code organization, good design, and everything that edge is. For this reason, I feel that having a template that is not just a centered div with some heavy box shadows, suggests that edge is well reasoned, without leaving anything out ... In other words, it just gives the developer a better impression of edge. Of course this comes from my personal experience with edge and you might not share any of those ideas 💡
