Love the logo, as is. Love the fresh, modern, distinctive feel/colors/fonts of the website. Amazing job Carlos, really!!!
I'm not a software expert, but I needed to create an extensive enterprise web app years ago, and what initially drew me to Flex was the availability of (1) extensive components to build an app, and (2) a web/blog (http://blog.flexexamples.com/about-me/) to help me learn Flex fast and easy by example (I can't overemphasize how valuable Peter's blog was for someone like me to become productive fast). >From a website perspective, anything you can do to help folks explore (1) and >(2) above should go a long way to expanding the community. I'd think the initial emphasis should be HTML/CSS/JS output (particularly for folks like me who need to migrate existing Flex apps to desktop browsers). > On October 22, 2017 at 11:29 AM Carlos Rovira wrote: > > > Hi All, > > here's the propose I've been working this past weeks for the Apache Royale > website. > > Disclaimer: Have in mind that is only a propose, not the final site, so > there's more work to do, but first I want to expose the work in progress > and discuss some things about it. > > http://royale.codeoscopic.com > > (still is the subdomain I've been working on in the final site) > > The pages I use to define a style and the ones you can look at: > > Home - http://royale.codeoscopic.com/ > Features - http://royale.codeoscopic.com/features/ > Mailing List - http://royale.codeoscopic.com/mailing-lists/ > > (again disclaimer: no one is still finished, I put some pieces in play, > but > that could not be final at all, or it could be maybe with some changes) > > I worked mainly in: > * Menu Organization: That's crucial for a good web site.
