Roadmap: Blog Development

[vipulgupta2048]

Roadmap to blog development can be worked on by anyone willing.

Phase 2

• Personalize the theme with logo's of ALiAS, an opening message, and GitHub links to contribute back. Along with figuring out would category, author, date-time links do.
• Ensure pagination is taken care off
• Blog is responsive, easy to read and is accessible to visually impaired
• Add instructions detailed instructions on Readme for installing, contributing back for developers, contributing back for writers, names of writers, license, and such. Refer to PyDelhi's blog.

Phase 3

• Suggestion: Add Disqus for Comments
• Suggestion: Add service for sharing buttons
• Suggestion: Add user tracking

Basically, like a WordPress blog without their bad marketing.

Discord or Disqus for comments?

[vipulgupta2048]

+1 for Disqus. Let other decide as well

Also, I'm adding another guide for writers about markdown and yaml. So,that they can easily format their blogs.
How do you all feel about the readme now?

[vipulgupta2048]

Should we scrap this? or what? Since there are talks of a new Jekyll in town.

You tell us, admin @Sc0rpi0n101!

From phase 2 issues, the pagination looks good as of now, and the rest are also taken care of, I think.

What are your thoughts on the responsiveness and accessibility of the blog?

[swarnimarun]

Just give me the Discord shortname. I will create the PR.

[swarnimarun]

Accessibility is fine except for broken images sizing.

Weren't we going to use Disqus?

[vipulgupta2048]

Yeah my bad on that, I have written Discord for comments 😆
Disqus it is

[swarnimarun]

btw just merge it, it will be required anyways even if we have to change stuff in the theme ourselves.

Also, give me the Google Analytics Tracking ID if you want to use it. Though I would prefer to have it hidden, if we are fine with it exposed I will add it to the config as well...

[Sc0rpi0n101]

Alright, the comments are available now.

[Sc0rpi0n101]

@vipulgupta2048 @thisisayush Do we want google analytics on the blog?
If yes, ID please

[vipulgupta2048]

I feel we don't need it, it's rather a good to have. I leave that decision with @thisisayush
We can work towards other more important features than implementing GA

[swarnimarun]

@vipulgupta2048 It's like 2 lines of code though.... :P

Anyways I will be here to fix if there are any bugs or stuff with the blog, otherwise, I will probably not be here for a few months.
