Working on a new pelican (python static site generator like jekyll) theme with a minimal old book style, with renaissance serif fonts, text decorations, etc. Not a designer, so I'm having a bit of trouble but I think I did fairly well so far! Comments appreciated. https://github.com/makmanalp/fleuron (screenshot included!)

Hey, I've just published jstatico[1], yet another static site generator. I wanted to ask if it's ok to fork and modify this to create an example site to use with my generator. I use nunjucks so porting should be trivial. In the readme of the repo, you said: > You can reuse it freely, I only ask that you keep the > attribution text and link on the bottom as is but you don't have a license. So, I wasn't sure if you'd a…

Sure, you can fork this. I'd love that. But beware, this is really early stage and I wouldn't trust it to be complete. The markup is really a horrendous hackjob and hasn't been rigorously tested in older browsers.

I added a BSD 3 clause license with an extra clause that you can read here: https://github.com/makmanalp/fleuron/blob/master/LICENSE

Basically if you modify in any way and it looks visually quite similar, please keep my original attribution text and URL visible. Deal? Man, licensing is hard!

My personal thing is a landing page I am putting up for personalized chopsticks: http://i.imgur.com/DyFIItZ.png Hopefully I can get it launched next week and see if I can get some orders. I used these chopsticks as an extra gift to current customers and they seemed to like it and were wanting to order more, so that's why I decided to work on a separate page for those.

AppSumo might love this

I'm writing a software synthesizer (a VST instrument plugin). I've been working solely on the DSP (audio processing) code for a while, and am shifting gears to work on the user interface.

The synthesis algorithm, roughly, is that the graph on top describes a Lissajous curve which is used to shape the phase of a cosine oscillator, and there are two cycles of said oscillator displayed underneath the curve. The knobs underneath it are the parameters for adjusting the curve shape.

The UI is all OpenGL 3.2 using a convenience toolkit I rolled myself (for layouts, event dispatching, etc). Currently working on hooking the UI into the DSP side of things.

I've been creating something completely reckless for the last two weekends.

This sounds awesome. Keep working on it.

Thank you for adding a license. I don't mind the state, I'm just experimenting too. About the terms... Of course it's a deal =)

http://imgur.com/AM11LCz Working on my website for my wedding. Using it as an opportunity to teach myself Django, so that I can make mistakes here before I start using it for a work project. Right now, I'm working on adding the ability to RSVP for events. It's been really great to learn how to use Docker, Redis, Postgres, etc. to make this come together. Overkill likely, but still fun. :-)

Your site looks beautiful!

Any guides on how to do this? I'm a programmer and my brother is a music producer.... he has a few ideas for plugins but I couldn't find any libraries online! Thanks!

> I am struggling with how to describe it (which is extremely important)

I think this is probably a critical thing for you to solve. When I read down through posts like these, rarely do I give anyone more than a few sentences. I respond most strongly when I have a general idea of the product, without analogy, by the end of the first short sentence.

Please avoid jargon, things that can be interpreted multiple ways, and analogies in that first sentence. They're all unnecessary and domain specific.

There is a lot of room for Steve Krug's "Don't Make Me Think" when describing product.

By example, this is what I would want to see for Hacker News:

"Hacker News is a group driven news site, oriented mostly but not exclusively towards technology and new business, which leans heavily on a community which shares viewpoints, opportunities, and critique, in the hopes of driving one another forwards towards mostly internet business success. There is a lot of discussion of startups, of market and business strategy, business models, advertising and site technique, and a very high ratio of personal requests for discussion on specific topics."

That's really cool. I wouldn't say that you are not a designer, especially considering how much I struggle with CSS/HTML5 to get an acceptable result, on my rails views. The problem with the these kind of designs are the fonts. Most of these old-style, handwritten fonts won't work for non-Latin languages unfortunately :-(

Thanks for the kind words! Cardo is special in this regard. Not only is it beautiful, but it was specifically made for linguists / biblical studies people etc. So it includes a metric crapton of unicode glyphs. That's one of the reasons I chose it: my native language is Turkish, so I'm familiar with these types of problems :)

Oh that's nice, keep up the good work then! :-)
