I'll chime in here, just in terms of the design of yuilibrary.com
* Use a fixed-width site. Most people go for something like 960px.
* Establish horizontal and vertical eyelines or columns.
* If you're on Github, might as well use gists. Offer example projects as open projects on Github
- catch23 15y ago+1 on the fixed width. I'm a developer, so I have a big monitor -- it's hard for my eye to follow sections of the document without lined up elements.
- rgrove 15y agoGreat feedback, everyone. I've pushed a few quick changes to address the low-hanging fruit: - We're now using Maven Pro for headings (no more Trebuchet). - Replaced Lucida Grande with Helvetica in the nav bar (sorry Windows users, you get Arial). - The site now has a max width of 1200px instead of expanding infinitely. This seems like a reasonable compromise, since any purely fixed-width design draws the ire of people who hate fixed-width designs. Keep the feedback coming!
- hobonumber1 15y agoWow, that was fast.
- rgrove 15y agoOne other nice thing about our new site is that it's super easy for us to push changes. :)
