| Mathias | Hello everyone! I am not a designer, but I tried redesigning the homepage using a new stack (Astro + Tailwind) the other day. It could definitely be better, but what are your thoughts? Maybe I could work on it more if you like it. Have a nice day! | 15:43:11 |
 avocadoom | Hi Mathias thanks for your submission. Looking at the repo you may have noticed we are already in the process of reworking the homepage by porting existing parts over to Astro which is nearly finished. I think at some point we will start to incorporate a redesign, but currently we are more focussed on improving the existing things. Feel free to join the marketing meetings to get in touch. :) | 15:54:39 |
| avocadoom | see https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-homepage/issues/1125 | 15:55:31 |
| avocadoom | and https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-homepage/tree/main | 15:55:40 |
| Mathias | Yeah, I completely understand. I saw you were moving to Astro. That's why I just wanted to try designing a new version for fun with the new stack. But I know you were not planning to change the design for now | 16:14:28 |
 @kranzes:matrix.org | Is there a need for a redesign? | 18:21:53 |
| @kranzes:matrix.org | I personally like the current design. | 18:22:02 |
| Mathias | I think there are some parts of the website that could be improved imo. For instance, the contrast ratio on the buttons of the homepage is really poor in the current version, and a dark theme would be a nice too | 18:49:23 |

I think there are some parts of the website that could be improved imo. For instance, the contrast ratio on the buttons of the homepage is really poor in the current version, and a dark theme would be a nice too At least Button contrast ist on the To-Do list. A dark mode is a consideration | 18:54:10 |
| avocadoom | * At least Button contrast is on the To-Do list. A dark mode is a consideration | 18:54:23 |
| avocadoom | But I want part 1 to be fully finished before we move on | 18:55:27 |
| avocadoom | If things are mixed up, then we'll get nowhere with this | 18:55:47 |
| Mathias | Dumb question, but why would this go nowhere? Wouldn't it be more efficient to implement redesign changes while transitioning stacks, as opposed to changing the stack first and then making the redesign changes? | 19:04:35 |
| avocadoom | Not really as introducing design changes at least in my opinion is not just "lets make another PR" but requires discussions and planning, thus lengthening the development time for changes to be released. Additionally, introducing design changes to the PRs in addition to technical changes, to be more specific changing the stack, doubles review time at a minimum since now additionally to reviewing the code quality and structure, now a UI/UX review has to be done. | 19:13:28 |
| avocadoom | Since we dont want development cycles to take an "eternity" and to be more quick in a relative sense jonge garbas and me agreed on doing things step by step back in december and this is clearly stated in the issue I linked. | 19:14:47 |

| Mathias | Yeah yeah, that was just out of curiosity. Sorry for the question | 19:27:15 |
| avocadoom | You don't have to be sorry, it's absolutely fine to ask those questions :D sorry if my answer has been a bit harsh | 19:51:37 |
| 31 Jan 2024 |
| avocadoom | But to get this thing rolling again anyway, I finished some branches up and did the remaining demo work on the landing page so we can move on to phase 2 :) | 01:26:13 |
| avocadoom | unforunately we still need some kind of script which selectively generates the doc pages that are not handled by Astro, maybe we can figure something out in the call | 01:26:47 |
