Some feedback

submitted by

A couple things:

  • I think the home page looks great with the two sidebars. Did you make a custom jinja template for that layout? It seems to persist across different themes, so I am guessing that is the case and that you didn't somehow magic that together just with css
  • I really like the colored backgrounds you have done in js for image posts. However, I think that it could possibly lead to some pictures kind of blending into the background. Take the image of the folder that is on the front of [email protected] at the moment. The orange of the folder blends into the orange of the background quite a bit. Not sure if you could tweak something like the opacity of the background to help the actual image stand out more.
  • The community view seems to be broken past the first couple posts (topics seem fine though), with post previews taking up the full width of the screen and breaking out of the container they are supposed to be in

Thanks for the feedback!

Yup I just moved the cards in the template. I think there could be more information added to the side but I'm still looking into that.

Yeah I noticed that too. I think I can disable it for images with transparent backgrounds and use a default gray/black instead. I also think that the background image should use the dominant color of the sides of the image instead because some images with borders can end up like this:

Which kind of hurts to look at

Yeah, I'm not sure what happened there. I haven't investigated yet but it probably has something to do with the post header/username because that's all I remember changing.
