Direction of site.

[bliti]

I started working on the site and have come up with a twitter-like look to it. I'm a bit lost as to the content of the index page. There are many options that could be done, though I'm interested in what you got in mind.

I attached an image of where my style idea is going. Feel free to comment, I'm not married to it.

Worked on it for a little bit more. Trying to mock up something that can be easier to give feedback on. Still lost on content. (:

Here is a screenshot to save you the time to boot it.

Here is the finished landing page. Tested on Safari and Firefox (latest stable build). Based on boostrap, so it should not have (major) issues with IE. Need to test it, do not have a Windows machine at hand to do so.

Included a screenshot for your convenience.

@bliti: The landing page looks awesome! Great work! 😄.

Thank you.

Looks good. Maybe leave the fork badge off (the stars one is good). Maybe add badges
for our TravisCI build and the pypi one as well (see the README.md).

We might need to swap out the logo on the header. Do we have permission from Twitter to use it?
Maybe we can come up with our own unique logo? Maybe a Python getting a Bird? ;)

I did think about including the TravisCI badges, and did mock them up. Though the page context kept me from including them in the final mock up. This page is merely a place to direct people to other pages. The context of the badges is related to the actual code, and should belong in the repo. That way, if there is any issue, they can just visit the issues page and learn about them. Still, I'll do as you deem best.

According to https://twitter.com/logo the Twitter logo is used in the right context. I have it linking to the Twitter developers page. It does not link to Tweepy itself.

I thought about a logo, but did not deem it necessary. Tweepy is awesome, but it is not a brand. The library is great ( I enjoy using it), but does not really compare to a big library or framework. Unless you plan to make a brand/product out of it. Could try one out for fun, but beware, I can't very well! (:

Made the mistake of doing the work on my local master branch. Going to clean it up and send off a request once that is done.

I'll mock up a simple logo and open a new issue.

Good points. Go ahead and keep the badges as is, I agree having too many clutters the page.
Yeah we don't need a logo now and if that Twitter icon is okay to use I am fine with it.

Look forward to seeing the pull request. :)

Pull request sent.

I'll open a new thread to chat about the rest of the site. I'm not sure what other content you are looking to add.

Hi joshthecoder,

Is there any issue with the pull request I sent?
