Hi folks,
A while ago, yt-project.org was converted to a "generated" site. Templates
are used to generate each page, so it's much easier to modify. I've also
moved the calculation of contributors into a function, and the gallery and
the members list are in .yaml files, so they can be updated without writing
raw HTML.
I took some time this week to experiment a bit with the website. My fork
is here:
https://bitbucket.org/MatthewTurk/yt.website
and a build is here:
http://matt-website.hub.yt/
The big changes:
* Light instead of dark background ("cyborg" theme to "flatly")
* Made the text more normal-sized most places
* Changed the masthead on the front page to *not* be a carousel and have
the new logo, along with a more punchy intro
* Added a set of "examples", which come from a .yaml file.
I've been experimenting with the examples and the theme in particular, and
I personally like it a lot more.
If you fork my repo and make changes (especially if you want to add
examples, which can take *either* text output *or* images) as soon as the
changes go in, it auto-builds on matt-website.hub.yt . Feedback here or on
slack would be very much appreciated, and if folks like it, I'd like to
deploy it.
A few other things it would need before it's ready:
* Add an extensions page, with extension information drawn from .yaml file
* Make the blog look like this thing, and maybe figure out if the blog
could be part of the repo
* Update the text and images wherever appropriate (i.e., update references
to the hub)
* Streamline navigation a little bit
* Fill out the examples, maybe even have them link to the hub
-Matt
