Consider overall sitemap

petebot commented 3 weeks ago

We need to come up with the overall sitemap, and landing pages for sections.

@DanMurphyWork came up with this structure:

    A(Let's Worm) --> B(All Worms)
    B --> B1[Retellings]
    B --> B2[Stories]
    B --> B3[Sets]
    B --> B4[Musings]
    A --> C(Prompt Machine)
    C --> C1[Daily Prompts]
    C --> C2[Prompt Archive]
    C --> C3[Bookworms]
    C --> C4[Submissions]
    A --> D(About)
    D --> D1[What is this?]
    D --> D2[Who are we?]

Things to consider

I think we want to build as much consistency as possible between sections.

When landing at letsworm.com, i think it should be a automatic curation of the entire site. Some worms, some Prompt stuff, a little about blurb that links to the about pages.

When landing on a top level nav item like all worms (or maybe just 'worms') it should be a similar curation of each sub category, in my opinion. So, the 'worms' page wouldn't just be an endless list, but another, more editorial style layout of information.

In this format, i wonder if we should just flatten the 'about' page to be a single page. I don't know how much we'll get out of having the two separations.

Prompt machine thoughts

I think that the prompt machine should feel a bit more community driven and combined with the idea of 'Submissions'. Prompts are up for grabs! You are either creating a prompt out of thin air, or responding to an already created prompt. creating a prompt could be like a 'request for proposal', and then the submissions to each prompt could be community voted, reddit style, and the most popular one rises to the top. Just a thought on a more dynamic way of thinking about the prompt machine. These, of course, could end up feeding the worm machine as well.

P.S. I'm mostly dropping this in here so that I'll have a record of things, and I can remember what to work on when I have time to work on it. Let me know if this feels too crazy, @DanMurphyWork

CONSIDERATIONS - Yes to curation on landing page and worm page ABOUT - Flatten to Single page makes total sense to me. PROMPT MACHINE - let's talk it out. I love the idea of community input. I've always cherished this sort of reliable service, and to me it would be really valuable as a driver to have something that feels fresh to check out daily, if that's something I could plug a lot of info into to autogenerate or something. I think if the goal would eventually be to rely on audience input that would be amazing too, but still feel like we should lay the groundwork and hope that we eventually can fill in from community driven content. I like the reddit style voting idea as well. I think the prompt machine is likely last on the list, but it would be cool to think about its simplest iteration to start as an offering

And yeah, this GitHub note passing works for me! I can't imagine where ALLLLLL our slacks floated off to. They're probably in the AI

Do I have to @petebot to make you know these messages are here? haha

Nope! i gets the emails. I think because i made the issue so I'm already 'watching' it.
