planetjekyll / planetjekyll.github.io Goto Github PK

Hi Gerald,
First of all, well done on maintaining a database-of-sorts on various accessories related to Jekyll (and ruby..) 👍 👍

I have a few issues mainly with how the site 'looks and feels' to 'me'.

• The Planet's Home Page looks rather unstyled or very minimally styled.
• The contents of .cards be it the divs on the homepages / themes / plugins are aligned to the left, with loads of empty space to the right side. A nice alternative would be to have the parent-container fixed at a certain width (yet responsive and fluid) and center-aligned.
• The individual 'cards' would look better with a fixed height, some subtle texture and optionally a drop-shadow (yes, Material Design principle).

Some additional eye-candy:

• The cards could flip along the Y-axis (CSS Transitions) onMouseover and show more details regarding the theme/plugin.
• Consider using one of the theme's showcased in your site to style the entire Planet.
• Specifically to theme-gems, you could have a 'corner-ribbon' that says "Github Pages" or similar to denote those are maintained by GitHub and can be used on GitHub (latest release of github-pages gem.).
• Specifically to themes or plugins, a corner-ribbon to denote "Popular" (based on stars) or "Official" (based on author/owner).

Easier said than done, I agree. 😃

The build service says:

 There was a YAML syntax error on line 536 column 3 in `_data/o/plugins/plugins.yml`: `did not find expected key while parsing a block mapping`.
