WPILib.org completely obscures how to download WPILib

Open Billfred opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Not strictly an frc-docs issue but this seems the most logical spot to raise the issue.

The Squarespace-based WPILib.org website does not make it obvious where to download WPILib. The link to the installation guide is below the fold on a standard laptop screen and labeled "How to use WPILib" which sounds a lot like documentation rather than how to install it (at best, it's ambiguous).

Both placement and label should be adjusted to make things more obvious to newcomers and people in a rush who haven't downloaded a full WPILib install in a while.

Label was changed and the size of the upper image decreased. Does this help?

It's still below the fold on my screen (I'm on a MacBook Air 13"), but the label change is a palpable improvement.

It seems to be nowhere in the top nav bar; if y'all don't want to give it its own heading, perhaps at least under Resources?

Thank you for your feedback. I have added it to the top, as well as under resources.

Closing since the site was updated
