Website Design #5

Open blakeembrey opened 8 years ago

blakeembrey commented 8 years ago

It'd be nice to have a typings website that can point people to getting started and searching and reading about how to write typings and use TypeScript.

Some resources:

senhongo commented 8 years ago

@blakeembrey I'm probably biting off more than I can chew but I'm interested. How can I help?

blakeembrey commented 8 years ago

@SenHeng That would be amazing! I haven't had time to start anything yet, but if you wanted I can create a repo or a skeleton to work against? What's the easiest way for you?

senhongo commented 8 years ago

@blakeembrey We could start with an empty repo, then start figuring out what needs to be in the site?

From the resources you've linked in the first post, I guess you'd like for there to be some kind of discovery feature?

blakeembrey commented 8 years ago

Yes :smile: There the search API for this: https://api.typings.org/search. I'll create the repo and add you to it.

senhongo commented 8 years ago

@blakeembrey Thanks for adding me to the group. I have a few ideas and I'll try putting some up next week. Is there any way I could circulate ideas with you or the other members? Some kind of a group chat/channel thing? Or do I just put them up as issues in the new repo?

blakeembrey commented 8 years ago

Of course, there's https://gitter.im/typings where we can chat. You're also welcome to create issues or comments too :smile:

blakeembrey commented 8 years ago

Oh, I did make an issue asking Sebastian about his theme: https://github.com/sebastian-lenz/sebastian-lenz.github.io/issues/1

@blakeembrey What are the key color and the sub color of typings?

blakeembrey commented 8 years ago

I can't say I've done any design work for @typings, so you're welcome to reuse the images I currently use (basically from https://unsplash.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&keyword=type+writer&button=) and come up with colors too. I do like the color and design of Sebastian's work.

hiroppy commented 8 years ago

Thank you for the information :smile: I think key color is near #111.

hiroppy commented 8 years ago

@blakeembrey I made a draft(only root page). How do you think? http://abouthiroppy.github.io/typings-website-prototype/

blakeembrey commented 8 years ago

Nice, we have some work to go on styling it still :+1: Have you considered grabbing a template and going from there? I particularly like (as noted) Sebastian's template. Since it is MIT, we could re-use that with proper attribution. I'd be happy to port it across and we can collaborate on tweaking it.

For those interested, you can find the original discussion about @sebastian-lenz's website and its design at DefinitelyTyped/definitelytyped.github.io/issues/14.

ghost commented 8 years ago

I would like to volunteer, too, since I'm already prototyping a small website that has some specific functionality for typings. What is the status-quo on this?

blakeembrey commented 8 years ago

I don't think any work has been done on it.

ScorpioCoding commented 6 years ago

And is the site completed?

demurgos commented 6 years ago

Hi, The website never got completed. Now that typings is only in maintenance (since the release of Typescript 2), I don't think we need a website anymore.
