SwiftRiver/Explore: Add an 'explore' section to the index #196

@dkobia @brandonrosage

Original suggestion taken from Skype.

[16:28:10] David Kobia: my whole point of bringing this up anyway was leading to this: http://o7.no/NcRRim [16:28:44] David Kobia: because the whole point is to push people not just to work on their rivers alone but to join others [16:28:53] David Kobia: re: https://github.com/explore [16:30:06] David Kobia: and maybe this link would lead to the explore section in [16:30:57] Nick Lewis: can we just add a search input box on the top bar and replace that button with an "explore" button then? [16:31:03] Nick Lewis: best of both worlds [16:31:47] David Kobia: I know right? why not have both

Used Chrome Dev Tools for a quick visual mock-up of what I pictured it as.

Looks like a dup of #139 though +1 on including that on the welcome page.

I pictured it being something like this, but I suppose that's up to @brandonrosage to decide.

I like the idea of calling trending/popular content "Swift". Obviously more than one entry would exist, but I was going quickly.

I like the way you designed yours though too

@Deathshiver, I love the mockups. @Brandonrosage, is it safe to assume that for most part, you already have these design patterns in place? Re: https://swiftriver.io/markup/patterns? Would love to get your thoughts.

I think these are great ideas.

I've developed a similar search interaction in the large-screen UI for the Crowdmap "refresh," except the input field isn't visible until you select the icon -- then it animates open: http://markup.crdmp3.com Either way, very doable.

In general, I'd like to reduce the number of modals as much as possible.

As for the Explore view, there aren't patterns that match that need perfectly. But I'd be happy to create them. I'll report back through the weekend with my progress.
