HTTP Status Codes has lost its usefulness after the new theme

Open swantzter opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

I've been referencing https://www.restapitutorial.com/httpstatuscodes for a long time now due to the fact that it's shown all HTTP status codes in an overview you have not needed to scroll: This has been a great strength compared to Wikipedia or IETF which the page references

After the redesign I suddenly have to scroll and it's hard to get just a quick overview, would it be possible to add a quick reference sheet/cheat-sheet again?

Agreed. They new look is form over function. As a reference page, the old layout was perfect. It was very quick and easy to see everything and find what you need.

As a quick fix I put an old HTML vanilla version on my GitHub page: https://long-eared-owl.github.io/httpstatuscodes/ It also has a one side print css.

Indeed, thanks for the feedback. However, the raw HTML isn't as easy to edit and keep updated... I'll see what I can do! I feel the same way, BTW, as I refer to it a lot as well.

Per @long-eared-owl 's https://long-eared-owl.github.io/httpstatuscodes/ was able to embed raw HTML and style it. Hopefully, this will work for us.

@tfredrich yeah, that looks much better.

Only slight thing now is that the stars need a different colour when in dark mode, right now it's always #000, should probably be #fff when the theme is dark

At first, I actually thought the website disappeared! I agree, the old view was very useful and far easier to scan & parse with your eyes, IMHO.
