Layout / design mockups

[scmorrison]

Hi Kevin,

I wanted to share these sites with you to give you an idea for what other language learning oriented sites look like. You might have used some of theses, but you will notice that when it comes to adding and modifying article-type content there are several common conventions that I think we could apply to HT.

• https://www.duolingo.com/
• http://livemocha.com/
• https://www.babbel.com/

For Japanese (or non-English Alphabet languages) take a look at this example:

http://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/easy/k10010144611000/k10010144611000.html

Notice how the furigana is handled, and how the built-in mouse-over dictionary works for the difficult kanji. Also, take a look at the article entry form on medium.com. I think that there are a lot good ideas in the way they are handling the basic story entry form:

I think we have many opportunities with HT to make it a world class tool for managing language study materials.

Can you start working on some mockups for how we can properly layout the site?

Thanks, Sam

Sorry, have been interrupted due to life events, will work on some mockups for the site during the weekend.
