Open thibautjombart opened 6 years ago
This is feedback on the new proposed version hosted at https://reconlearn-ld.netlify.com/ Overall, the new version looks great and ticks most of the boxes. These are minor edits / requests, ranked from most important to more optional:
in the practicals, use the same style as in original website (I had customized it a bit)
use the font selection used in the original website, for the titles and regular text, making sure that the fonts are shipped with the website; currently Sawasdee (used in titles) displays on chrome, but not firefox
for the first items displayed on 'home', balance the space for text vs image a bit more, and reduce the height of the item a bit
add a page similar to the 'topics' for 'authors'; title would be 'Browse content by author'
in the posts, links to authors should link to the list of posts from these authors, ie same result we'd get clicking on this author on the new 'authors' page
in navbar, distinguish 'home' and other regular pages (about, sample, contact) from those which browse content by type of search: lectures, practicals, license, author; the latter may be prefixed by 'Browse content by:' or something similar.
try and alternative background or logo as the current logo on purple background doesn't work very well
on the navigation bar, add icons and links to: email, github (pointing to the sources), and maybe even a 'fork me on github' ribbon (if straightforward)
in the navbar, the RECONlearn logo points to the current page; replace with a link to 'home'
on 'topics', replace the title: 'Tags' -> 'Browse content by topic'
Heya @thibautjombart, with a couple of hours left to do tasks in - could you make sure the above are in priority order so that we don't tackle the less important items at the expense of higher value items.
Thanks, I have re-ordered the list. I suspect we'll have funding for more, so hopefully we'll get down to the bottom of the list at some point.
Here are the various things which would be good to improve on or add to the website:
[ ] a search engine which can be used to find documents by
category
(e.g. lecture, practical) andtags
(i.e. any keyword relating to content)[ ] other pages (e.g. "about") linked from the landing page, and instructions on how to add and link new pages
[ ] a ribbons system indicating the
category
of documents on the post images of the landing page[ ] record license as part of the yaml header of posts, handled as
category
andtags
, and displayed alongside ribbons[ ] an option to specify how many posts to display on the landing page, with the rest of the content displayed by following a link 'next'
[ ] add Disqus support
[ ] add a post on how to contribute material to the website // unsure about this, to discuss
