yes, and we can add the figma links from @brave coral, @humble sluice, and @iron totem (sorry for pinging you all) - and pin them to this thread for easier assess

I think my only concern is that its different from Vercel's branding and it might be clashing with their brand image
Im sorry i cant be more active for today but ill get into it ๐ญ
I was trying to make it as vercel-y as possible and i somewhat prefer compacted view rather than like app-like relaxed view
wait is that yours of joulev's?
ahh i thought it was an updated version of yours, ill change my my message
I need to sleep coz ive been sleep deprived from yesterday
Figma is supposed to be sync guys why did we ended up creating three separate project xD
because 3 diferent ideas...
also what it your url... i can't find it again
ahh i had to scroll to right to find the forum part
I meant we can just edit on one file and keep it sync
so... which one to use... then?
Mine has edit permission to whoever has figma account and link, i havent chwcked the others' access permission
i don't have figma account tho
figma@riskymh.dev ๐ - ill to later, im going to be sleeping now
Sane
Also, shouldnt we ask permission from rafael first
Asked him he sad its ok
Yay!
also, could we possibly add stats to the homepage - posts created, answered and such
ofc
This looks awesome - what's the status on it?
bhahaha on hold
honestly id like to but idk how much features you'd want to put on the design
maybe i should jsut focus on existing features first
Also I wonder how much joulev wants to do now...
i dont mind doing it
maybe ill do it after this to take a break from personal project
but its adding more features than we currently have though
so not sure how to proceed with that
what do you suggest?
Uhh idk
well what do you want to see first?
It has everything in the db (reactions aren't tho)
Honestly I can't remember much of them rn
I'm on mobile so I can use figma ๐ญ
Yeah that should be simple
Everything there is displayed in the card anyway
I may need to add indexes to the table to make planetscale less sad tho
Oh and tags
@drowsy surge the question is where does the "Most Helpful" goes when its mobile view ๐
Yeah either hidden or a button to show it and will show above (position absolute)
Hmmm
@iron totem i have no idea if you want to still work on this... (would be cool, but i understand if you don't)
but what would the best way of homepage to implement infinite scroll (because fancy).. mainly ask because of most helpful on mobile, but ig that can be shown for a bit until user scrolls
or... is page based nav better ๐
can add a leaderboard or ranking icon at the top (where a hamburger icon usually appears), clicking it shows the leaderboard with the icon changed to an X)
but do we even want infinite scroll, it makes it hard to find an old page
oldest first :)))
and we get the best post https://canary.discord.com/channels/752553802359505017/1117227012701032569
hmm how would we determine popular
allright if you guys need anything just lmk
how to css and actually implement this?
implement what?
the redesign
which design do you want me to implement?
just use tailwind i guess
should i create a new repo?
why... rewrite?
So
my goal is just to make it similar to Vercel's branding
thats why my redesign is just a facelift
but it isn't vercel sponsored
they haven't replied to rafael asking for free vercel blob and other things i assume ๐ญ
i know, but it is still closely related to next.js as a brand
but if we want to make joulev's as the next step, i dont mind if the color is changed a bit to match the Next.js brand
yeah isn't that the default shadcn or something
yeah something like that
hmm not much color to choose from in the official core colors https://vercel.com/design/brands#primary-colors
but there are some many colors in nextjs.org
still hoping for forum.nextjs.dev or .org
i was thinking we can get more attention from Vercel if we make it nicer
just a small thought
but i dont think it will help largely
but id still think id be nice to make it similar
this server in itself is basically community run (and those few hours in conf kinda felt like vercel team were guests)
and i kinda think we should just do whatever ui looks cool and not try and fit in as that just adds complexity imo
as any change we will have to think if it look legit
it adds constraints. i dont think next.js's brand is any more complex than the current one
yeah i was thinking that we make it as legit as possible :v atleast to a certain industry standards
making is as legit as possible is the goal i had in mind
but not sure if everyone is onboard with that
tbf we should asl rafael as he kinda has final say
but i think it can still look very cool with vercel/nextjs branding
just need to adapt to chat ui
and there is kinda alot of discord things in the current ui... so need that to be good too
@brave coral so... success here soon ๐
this is what it would look like were it to be accepted to main
footer
now what to do :derp:
oh make a PR
This redesign tries to match the branding of Next.js as best of my ability.
Here are some screenshots
Any feedbacks are welcome!
@sterile stump would it be possible for you to enable the vercel deployment to make it easier to see the changes
(but I know your priorities are your work and not using discord CDN)
HMM
but im surprised it works :O https://nextjs-forum-web-git-fork-alfonsusac-web-fd8176-rafaelalmeidatk.vercel.app/
