Mockup for Gradience main website

[tfuxu]

We should redesign our main website to make it more GNOME-y.
As of now it looks a little bit bland with that default template that we use in Lume, and there's not really any content there except for the How to contribute? section, with a footer under it, which consists of a link to Discord server and the Gradience main repo.
It would be nice to have a main page that looks more like the page of some GNOME project, like what we've done in gradienceisahack.github.io website.

A great inspirations in my opinion for this redesign would be forty.gnome.org and repainter.app (mentioned by daudix some time ago).

That's a nice idea. I would like to mention that repainter.app isn't open source and the forty.gnome.org to (maybe i'm wronge for the gnome one ?). I would also mention https://collision.geopjr.dev/ and https://libadwaita.geopjr.dev/

That's a nice idea. I would like to mention that repainter.app isn't open source and the forty.gnome.org to (maybe i'm wronge for the gnome one ?).

I mean, we're not going to copy them one to one, but we can get some inspiration from how they look, to slightly influence the final look of our page.

Also about forty.gnome.org website, almost every GNOME project site has a note at the bottom, that says it is distributed under the Creative Commons CC-BY-SA license, so if we based our website on that page, we would just have to give a credit in the footer, such as This page was based on ... or something like that, just like we did on gradienceisahack page.

I would also mention https://collision.geopjr.dev/ and https://libadwaita.geopjr.dev

Great suggestion! Geopjr sites have always looked very nice to me, and they are pretty creative in their look, so they should be a good example.

Yes 👍

What is the current progress on this mockup? Are there perhaps any drafts already created?

[daudix]

I have nothing :/

[tfuxu]

Okay, no problem

[daudix]

I will start making one right now 😉

Edit: actually tomorrow, 1 AM is not the best time

I like it, what about adding an "explore more theme" in the "wide range of palettes" section ? Which will redirect to the explore page ?
