First iteration of new layout landed. #58

I've spent a lot of time thinking about general layout decisions for the hub. I've implemented a first iteration, which hopefully is a good baseline for the next Substance release.

Landing page

The new landing page at substance.io will show a selection of networks, where documents have been published recently. We'll start moderating our networks, except the "Public" stream, where everyone can publish to immediately. We really need to make sure we only show quality documents to new visitors. Every network is associated with a color (we'll define a color palette.. multiple networks can have the same color, ideally colors tie together semantically connected networks)

Publications for a particular network

I've switched to a grid view as we had it in the old Substance, since this looks nicer in the eye, and we can display document covers.

The document display is quite minimal. It shows the cover on the top (if there is any) and the contents below in a pretty straight-forward way.

As said this is just a first iteration. However I think we should now only do incremental updates on the hub in order to reach a stable version in the next weeks.

@vectorsize Oliver and me will be busy with infrastructural stuff for a while.. so you could start tweaking/polishing the Hub Style at any time. Let's have Skype breakfast some time this week to coordinate a little bit. CU soon! :)
