Germany Reports

This project is to present news for churches throughout Germany.

UX for contributors

This project has the following goals:

  • Aesthetic presentation
  • Responsive UI
  • Ease of contribution

The last point is important—we want as least-techinical people as possible able to contribute to this site. For this my thoughts are as follows:

  • One html (slim) page per church
  • No extra routing, controller, or navbar modifications should be required, only to add an html file to the views folder

Design

  • Nav is to the left, showing category boxes with their sub-categories listed underneath.
  • Under articles' main heading will be the date. If more than one article exists, a dropdown will be there next to the date to see archived versions. Note that until we use these reports a second time we don't need to worry about it.
  • General design is minimalist, simplistic, maximising ease of reading.
  • Videos will be hosted on youtube
    • Click on "embed" to get embed code
    • Under embed code will be a "show more" that lets you disable next video suggestions
    • Actually better to copy embed code from existing video, and replace the unique code
  • Images will be self-hosted, but must be as small as possible, using tinyjpg or tinypng etc.
