Sooo, after months of discussion at https://governance.funkwhale.audio/d/aDqFmMuT/customizable-landing-page-for-instances, and lots of small MRs to prepare for it, I've started to work on the actual redesign of #Funkwhale's landing page earlier this week.
And I'm now confident enough to open a merge request and ask for feedback!
https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale/merge_requests/899
I also had to redesign the about page ;)
If you follow this link, you'll find:
- A short video to demonstrate the new pages (landing and about)
- Some links to try out a live version
Can you please try it out and tell me how it works for you?
Excerpt from the release notes for this feature:
In this release, we've completely redesigned the landing and about page, by making it more useful and adapted to your pod
configuration. Among other things, the landing page will now include:
- your pod and an excerpt from your pod's description
- your pod banner image, if any
- your contact email, if any
- the login form
- the signup form (if registrations are open on your pod)
- some basic statistics about your pod
- a widget including recently uploaded albums, if anonymous access is enabled
The landing page will still include some information about Funkwhale, but in a less intrusive and proeminent way than before.
Additionally, the about page now includes:
- your pod name, description, rules and terms
- your pod banner image, if any
- your contact email, if any
- comprehensive statistics about your pod
- some info about your pod configuration, such as registration and federation status or the default upload quota for new users
With this redesign, we've added a handful of additional pod settings:
- Pod banner image
- Contact email
- Rules
- Terms of service
