December 19, 2015 Redesign of dlang.org | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Here's another thread about redesign of dlang.org. I'm creating this thread because of a couple other threads recently created [1] [2]. The redesign was made by Ivan Smirnov in the beginning of this year. I've helped out a bit with suggestions but he has made all the work. I'm making it available [3] now because I can't get in contact with him anymore and I think that it would be sad to see his work go to waste. The redesign is just a mock of the start page and a Phobos documentation page. No Ddoc, vibe.d or similar is used. Only HTML, JavaScript and Less (CSS). It's not a functioning site, it's only to show the design. A few things are working: On the start page: * The "Show example" link on the start page in the "Static type inference" section * The "Documentation -> Standard Library" link in the top menu. This is the link to the mock of the Phobos documentation page On the Phobos documentation page: * The plus button in the first documented symbol * The "ForeachType" cross-reference link * The "isIterable" cross-reference link in the constraint * The "isNarrowString" cross-reference link in the constraint * The "isInfinite" cross-reference link in the constraint On the Phobos doc page, for each symbol it will show the signature. The template constraint will be on a separate line in a different color, moving the focus to the important parts of the signature. Cross-reference links will open a popover with the documentation of the referenced symbol. By default only the summary is shown for a symbol. The rest of the documentation is hidden in a collapsible section (the plus button). Thoughts?

The template constraints being on their own line is a nice touch.
Overall, the design looks very clean-cut. The only real issue I see is that it could use a bit more contrast. Those light gray lines fade into the background just a bit too much.

This looks incredible. I think the layout is a huge improvement from the existing one.
I do wish there were a one-click link to the forums on the navigation-bar, instead of a Community dropdown. I personally do not like dropdown menus in navigation bars like that. I'd rather only the most important pages be available there as direct links.

Miles ahead of what we have now.
Not only looking good, it's also better on mobile and easier to navigate.

Excellent, both for increasing the apparent brand value for newcomers and for reducing frustration of existing users. Minimalistic, modern, professional and consistent look & feel, easy to read and navigate - even at the very first sight at the main site one can instantly find what they're looking for.

I love it.
Especially the navigation bar being horizontal and absolutely positioned.
Once I have the time, I could help work on this.

No, I do not see it either.
