@oskarth Website redesign as we discussed.

[oskarth]

Thanks! Will look a bit later

[oskarth]

Thanks! Could we add a README with basic setup and running instructions?

[oskarth]

bundle install doesn't appear to work by default, instead I need to run (sudo) gem pristine sassc --version 2.2.1 before bundle exec s works. Perhaps we can encapsulate this into a Makefile? Or just simple steps would work too.

^ @j-zerah fyi

[j-zerah]

re copy - please edit as you see fit @oskarth

Re - favicon - all assets are available in the drive here https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/11ZIZODIIRJYm_vUegm3vBSH94SavMZsW

Re- blog layout - I agree. For readability and keeping it as a research log - lets keep simple / orginial layout

[oskarth]

@NistorCristian could you please comment in-line in PR for each of the items? Even just a thumbs up / resolved, so I know which things have been fixed and not

[oskarth]

Also, @decanus suggested using theme for https://github.com/vacp2p/specs - does this seem reasonable to you? how much effort would it be to adjust?

Should I simply adapt the new design to that repo too? Or we will have a design for it?

[oskarth]

Checked it out and it looks solid!

Adapt new design to that repo if it seems feasible

[j-zerah]

@NistorCristian can you update your staging link so I can have a final review of copy and ensure all links are pointing to the correct location?

Finally, can we update the "footer" to closer resemble the updated Nimbus footer (https://nimbus.team/). In which we include columns for: Social Links: Twitter, Discord, Status More: Research Log, Github, Forum, Privacy Policy The Status Network: Status, Keycard, dap.ps, Embark, Subspace, Nimbus

[NistorCristian]

@j-zerah I've added the new footer. Check all the changes here:

[j-zerah]

@NistorCristian - looks good. 2 updates:

• Can we make the background black to match the rest of the Vac site/branding (instead of the Nimbus dark grey color)
• Under "The Status Network" replace Vac with Nimbus (https://nimbus.team/)

[oskarth]

Let me know when you guys are ready and I'll merge this

[NistorCristian]

@j-zerah Done

[j-zerah]

@NistorCristian looks good on my side.

Once question though - how many blogs/research logs is the current layout designed to display? What happens when we have tons of logs? Is there are page with all posts similar to https://vac.dev/

Not sure if this was ever designed? Could be vac.dev/research-log where we list out all of the posts. This will also probably require us to add a CTA on the homepage pointing to such a page. Perhaps we replace the "Subscribe via RSS" with "See all posts" and then add a cta to subscribe via rss on that research log page?

wdyt?

@oskarth Im also cool to launch this as is and fix this later.

Yes please, I think I mentioned this in comment above. We need dedicated page with index

[NistorCristian]

Done. I created a simple Research log page. The Research log link from menu goes to this page.

[oskarth]

Thanks! Let's merge this.

@j-zerah any specific plans re launch etc? we can take it up outside of this PR

[oskarth]

Site is live but a bug: @NistorCristian hm, https://vac.dev/research-log/ 404s

[oskarth]

Also another bug: chat with us link still says Discord, it should say Telegram (link is correct)
