you need to squash these 2 commits into one since the whitespace and DCO checking happens on each commit in the pull request. Let me know if you need help, but that should get you a clean CI run so we can review.

I squashed the commits but the previous failed commit is still showing.

reveurguy avatar Jun 27 '22 15:06 reveurguy

ok, i reset the branch, did a new commit . but after that it's telling me to pull and when i pull, it is merging branches and in that merge that previous failed check commits are present. So it's quite a situation here.

Looks like a nice refresh to some of the UI elements on the main page; anyone else @containerd/committers have an opinion?

estesp avatar Jun 27 '22 17:06 estesp

I agree it is a nice refresh, a few questions/comments

  1. Where does the background blue come from, is it used somewhere else for consistency?
  2. The "Getting Started" button could have more contrast with the background so it pops out a little more
  3. "containerd Branding" or "containerd branding", we always keep references to the project as lower case, even in titles.

  1. I have used the background just for header and hero currently, I will apply the background to the footer and features section as well, that would give a nice scroll effect on the section and would be consistent as well. I used blue just to give a dark background with light text on it like the current one where a blackish shade is present. If it doesn't look great, I can try some other dark shades or try to do a vice-versa, a lighter background with dark text.
  2. Ok I will change that to some light color so that it stands out and is clearly visible as well.
  3. I'll change that to lower case.

I have made the changes I mentioned above.

Any suggestion or changes ?

Need rebase to remove merge commit. Also either remove the npm packages lock or if necessary move under the node.js comment

dmcgowan avatar Jul 18 '22 22:07 dmcgowan

removed the package-lock file. Also can you do the rebase while merging the PR. Trying to do that locally can become quite messy.

Here are a few screenshots illustrating design issues that appear for narrow views:

  1. Top-nav containerd logo is clipped: top-nav logo clipped

  2. IMHO, the top-nav logo is too big (the previous size seemed better).

  3. IMHO, the CTA buttons are too big (see the screen shot above).

  4. The vertical logo doesn't work for narrow displays:

  1. The social media buttons in the footer are too big (the previous size was ok). They used to fit nicely together in the default view, but they don't anymore

  1. The top-nav color needs to be adjusted for doc pages:

/cc @thisisobate for insight into design issues

chalin avatar Jul 21 '22 13:07 chalin

Hii chalin, i was waiting for the final confirmation for the design and had made changes initially for the laptop size only, that's why the site has some issues at smaller screen size.

reveurguy avatar Jul 21 '22 14:07 reveurguy

I completely agree with everything you said @chalin Also, the flipped logo doesn't sit well with the overall design.

I suggest we revert the logo to be horizontally positioned.

I kinda like the new background image; makes it look fresh. My only concern is that it replaces the brand color.

Btw, great work @reveurguy; you got this!

thisisobate avatar Jul 21 '22 14:07 thisisobate

I have made the changes @chalin mentioned for small screen devices.

reveurguy avatar Jul 21 '22 16:07 reveurguy

Thanks @reveurguy, I'll let @thisisobate have a look at the updates when he has the time.

chalin avatar Jul 22 '22 15:07 chalin

@amye and/or @caniszczyk: any comments about the change in colors proposed by this PR, and whether that's an issue in terms of containerd branding, given the current color palette of containerd logos.

Any update on this? @chalin

reveurguy avatar Aug 01 '22 11:08 reveurguy

Hii, any update on this PR? Do let me know if any changes are required.

reveurguy avatar Oct 15 '22 14:10 reveurguy

Thanks for your patience. Again, I'll let @thisisobate follow up on this (he's currently out -- or soon will be -- for the holidays if I'm not mistaken).

chalin avatar Dec 16 '22 20:12 chalin

@chalin LGTM! Thanks for your patience! @reveurguy

Btw, when working on the burger contrast issue, consider increasing the height of .navbar-burger span to 2px. That'll help make it more visible.
