Update resources, add colors section #269

Closed kartikcho closed 4 years ago

kartikcho commented 4 years ago

Added more relevant and new resources Added a new colors section Removed one inaccessible link

jancborchardt commented 4 years ago

I’m a bit hesitant to just add a whole bunch of resources which have very little to do with open source and are just plain design resources. We should specifically focus on design at the intersection of open source, and if we just add lots and lots of general design resources we devalue the other ones who are more focused.

Anyone can easily look for general design resources, but we should focus.

I agree with your point on having open licensed resources only @jancborchardt.

I'll update and review each resource again distinctly in a follow up PR soon!

Also, what do you think about the colors section? Since that isn't technically a licensed resource.

Similar to "Inspiration", I’d say let’s cut it to focus on the other things. Material Design, Bootstrap or PatternFly for example are very specifically open source and also have color systems.

So I should merge "colors" and "inspiration" I presume?

Correct me if I have the wrong idea of what you have in mind @jancborchardt

@kartik918 I’d say we remove both "colors" and "inspiration", as none of the entries are really related to open source. What do you think?

kartikcho commented 4 years ago

@jancborchardt I am with your opinion on removing inspiration section since the lines are blurry on whether it could be counted as "Open Source" or not. But the section already existed before my PR so I'm not sure if I should remove something that existed before my addition completely.

About the colors, I think it should be there because colors aren't "claimed" or copyrighted in general. Providing open source color contrast tools to help out in designs seems like a good choice.

I'll refine my list to include only open source color tools but if you still want it removed, let me know.

That’s fine, as we can always improve on existing stuff. :) That also means deletion, not only addition.

That would indeed be good! So it’s best to check which of the tools are open source and mainly keep those, right?

Thanks for your contributions! :)

@jancborchardt thanks for clearing all that up, I'll open a PR with the appropriate OS color tools soon!

P.S could you send an invite to me for joining the org here, I can then contribute directly in the future (and represent 🏳‍🌈). That would be super, thanks!
