Launcher3: Website for Mainstream Users?

[SethuSenthil]

for many mainstream users, GitHub is not really that not friendly. When one first load the page you get bombarded with files and the user tends to leave or freak out. Using the content in the READ.md file we can craft a website UI that's more user-friendly. We can host this website on Github's own service GitHub pages which I think we all are familiar with.

Good idea, I can land a help with that (I'm currently using GirHub Pages to host my portfolio, so I know how it works). Amir, even though it's not necessary, you might want to purchase a domain name pertinent to Rootless Pixel Launcher? Otherwise, you'll have [repo-name].github.io, which is fine for me but doesn't sound too user-friendly.

[SethuSenthil]

We could use freenom for a free domain name

I also agree. But it would cost amir money. And he doesn't ask for donations. And personally I don't want him to pay for a site others want

For my previous web designs, I used a lightweight, responsive framework called Skeleton. It has one demo we could use as a template here which I believe would be perfect for this project.

Quick update: here is a more specific example for this project: https://abdu.io/rpl/ (SOURCE) based on the demo above.

Lookin' good so far!

[SethuSenthil]

I did some modifications, will be adding more soon. How did I not know about the Skeleton Framework! It's really good, especially for performance.

[abdullahibneat]

I know! It's such a great framework, providing the essentials. I also approved your commits. Thanks for the help.

[abdullahibneat]

Did you delete your previous comment about the GitHub API? I wanted to thank you, I implemented the code and it works perfectly.

[SethuSenthil]

O wow! I thought it failed!

It was just a matter of extracting the code responsible for generating the download link for the latest APK available:

$.getJSON("https://api.github.com/repos/amirzaidi/Launcher3/releases/latest").done(function (release) {
      var asset = release.assets[0];
      $("#dlink").attr("href", asset.browser_download_url);
});

<a class="button button-primary" id="dlink">Get Rootless Pixel Launcher now</a>

@amirzaidi Could you post a list of information you want to be displayed? Preview link of the work done so far: https://abdu.io/rpl (source)

@abdullahibneat could you perhaps contact me on Telegram? That might be easier than talking over GitHub. My username is @mirai
