Looks sexy. I particularly like the display of 5 threads from each category, that is nice indeed. On larger screens, displaying 3 categories per row instead of two could do a lot for information density, I think.

Thanks. It can be configured to accommodate the 3 column layout on larger screens.

The coding part is simple, the hardest part (and why it will take a while) is the UX. This is not a CMS (although it can be extended such as one), it is a forum and its always been difficult to reimagine a forum so I'm going not based on a Sketch mockup but freehanded.

Would like some feedback based on the screenshots. The live site is up too, I removed the SSL so there is no SSL on the site at this time.

(haven't forgotten about the repo)

@trevor Wish I could even start experimenting with a basic new theme. It's looking nice! Keep it up.

Open Sans https://typekit.com/fonts/open-sans

Unless I am going mental (quite possible) there was another image with a handwriting-style font?

trevor

@codecowboy Adelle... possibly.

I think the forum engine, once logged in is nodebb, but i could not say it 100% sure.

I just registered today to see the site. But a you commented maybe it just changed technology and it doesnt use nodebb now, cuase the design is different. I was sjpposing that the changes were somethig made in the custom theme, but it seems completely different platform. As i said before i can't confirm 100% cause i'm browsing it on mobile.

Nisthar

@jarey Ok. Its on Laravel.

I think @trevor is just showing a demo for the theme he's going to develop

trevor

Sorry, the main site is not NodeBB.

http://convoe.com:4567/

Its this one with the 4567 port.
In which case, that reminds me to push this to Github.

Build software better, together

GitHub is where people build software. More than 100 million people use GitHub to discover, fork, and contribute to over 420 million projects.

GitHub (github.com)

jsthon

Nice work! We look forward to your new theme.

Haven't seen much activity and now the site is completely offline. Hey @trevor is this project still going? I hope so. It'll be nice that nodebb have another design style.
