Create download page

[gilgongo]

This to be the default URL for all platform downloads at https://jamulus.io/downloads/ (or similar URL).

Some examples of different approaches:

https://www.torproject.org/download/
https://www.plex.tv/downloads/
https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop
https://www.videolan.org/vlc/#download

I'll just say I prefer the Ubuntu one over the VLC one... :)

Would this use the wiki layout?

[gilgongo]

Only if we can't work out anther way :-)

[mulyaj]

Made a mockup. Thoughts?

[pljones]

My only reaction: there's a bit too much whitespace vertically - it's more 4x3 than 16x9... (It may even be taller than wide...) Looks great other than that! Should be the jamulus.io front page.

[gilgongo]

That works! The problem of course is actually working out the CSS to do it :-) My knowledge of the framework we're using is almost nil I'm afraid.

[mulyaj]

@pljones The page includes scroll, so that explains the height, I'll try to reduce the whitespace.

@gilgongo I'll try to figure something out.

@mulyaj as part of #192 (which I have in a branch but was waiting until things settled down a bit) I'm putting optional floats on images, but apart from that, I have no real idea how to go about any structural stuff on the site. It would be great if we we could get that top nav you have in that mockup, for example!

@ann0see Would you have any thoughts on how we would integrate a new page?

What I was thinking is that it could just be its own standalone HTML and CSS. Would it need a layout and a corresponding .md?

[gilgongo]

Well, we're using Jekyll to do the translations (and other bits and pieces). And we'd want the download page to be multi-lingual like the rest of the site.

But Jekyll is as far as I know independent of Fox CSS, so if we could work out a way of getting the best of both that would good. @ann0see Did the main work for the website though so should know more.

[ann0see]

Actually, the current homepage (index.html) is also mostly html + css. It should be quite easy to edit the file + layout. I like your proposal but would add more information about what Jamulus is/... if that becomes our new homepage.

I'd avoid floats if possible (personal preference).

The framework uses flex which should make it easy to design a layout like that.
