@ccelest1 Hi Tyler! Thank you for taking the time to add your image and text in addition to the image of the Brooklyn Bridge! I appreciate your thoughtful text, too! I understand and appreciate your love for thoughtful design, aesthetics, and architecture that blend in perfectly with the environment. I appreciate your descriptive passion for creating functional spaces that enhance people's lives in the design or civil engineering fields. Japan is well-known for its sustainable and harmonious approach to design, and I understand why you would love to visit and experience this culture in person. The Japanese Cabinet aims to achieve zero energy for newly constructed homes by 2030, using wood and alternative materials such as stone, ceramics, bamboo, plastic, and vinyl. I admire your keen eye for quality and your desire to positively impact the world. The world would benefit from more people like you who are intentional and caring. I hope that you can fulfill your dreams and share your talents with the world. Tyler, I wish you all the best on your journey! Reviewing now and will be merging shortly👍🏻 |

I like the Brooklyn Bridge photo, and I haven't thought of this before, we can create an open issue to add more dummy images to the home page. These will be displayed beind the "An Open Source Project" Text, and the Before I Die Code logo.

Yeah I have a couple suggestions to add on
-
dummy images weren't elucidated or even mentioned in the contribution-guidelines, but when i took a look at the code i deciphered it was the images above. The profile photo and the photo of what we want to achieve makes sense, but I wanted to really understand what i should put for the dummy and i decided to put where I am from and fit the aesthetic that I thought was so nice and calming.
-
I think you can be more clear about what people should post in terms of what they want to do before they die. A few of them I thought were incredibly meaningful, but there some of them I thought were out of place and jarring.
- Like you said in the contributing.md, it should be something significant and extrinsic separate from just the journey of software itself
-
I saw this in the contributing.md and was wondering where this was and if needs to be changed
Replace "YOUR_CITY_COUNTRY_AND_FLAG" with your city, country, and flag White Flag Chequered FlagBlack Flagemoji.I saw that instead of the emoji, it was the country abbreviated. -
Additionally, while the design is good for the current number of contributors (1) the images will get distorted and it may do some good to have a slideshow for the dummy images as opposed to them being static so they are crowded together, (2) the same should apply for the bottom as well
- The design currently is fine, but I'm wondering if theres a way that it can be updated/modernized without sacrificing its artistic integrity.
-
I also found the rainbow background of text, very distracting. It would be nice if either people can decide what color they can have for the background of text or if it can be changed to a more neutral but pleasing color.
-
I also noticed that certain times, the photo dimension would result in info about users being cut off if perhaps your window was minimized or on different screens.
-
I'm just wondering if this gets bigger, how you will handle content moderation.
Also I checked out the about.md and that it was incredibly inspiring, I wish that was presented in a more immediate way or presented to the user so they get the grasp of the project better.

This is valuable feedback! I would like to create open issues for all of your points! Yes, I am in agreement with the dummy images being on rotation, and I found it interesting when reviewing your merge request that you added a dummy image without the mention of a dummy image in the contribution guideline. I'm grateful you did this as I was early on thinking about the rotation of the images to add more variety when users view the page of images. Additionally, adding into the documentation clearer about what should be posted in terms of meaning. I'm now thinking how we could add a backed component to fetch a simple API call from Unsplash or go the route of contribution sourcing of high-level images to represent meaningful before I Die images to store locally in the code or an added database to display.
1️⃣ I will add all your suggestions and feedback to the ROADMAP to organize and then create open issues👍🏻 and make a checklist. If you have time and would like to help in creating open issues from the checklist that would be great😇
2️⃣From a design perspective, what layout do you find most appealing for a modern, professional home that is sleek and highlights high-quality images in various art styles on rotation?
3️⃣ I was wondering if it makes sense for the layout of images to be behind the text on the home screen sections, with a transparent tint or a 3 x 3 grid, and adjust the text layout accordingly. Do you have any thoughts on this?
4️⃣ To expand this project, we will need to build a community. That's why I've set up this repository as an organization so that we can have members and utilize GitHub's features for community organization, moderation, and engagement.
5️⃣ And also perhaps a clearer section in the README or even in the website itself to share the about.md
🙏🏻 I would like to make the project big as the question of What I Want to Do Before I Die has played a big part in my life, and it is a project that I am passionate about as a medium to help other developers and learn in the process.
Thank you, Tyler!

I had to resolve a merger conflict and needed to change the order from the version you had requested on your pull-request. Everything was good from your side. It was just the case of your original forked version being a few versions behind the main. Changed the order seen in the Contributors.json file and CONTRIBUTORS.md. Thanks for your time in contributing, Tyler!

Currently merging✅ If you haven't already, please star the repository, Tyler. Your contributions to the project are welcome, especially if you have a passion for architecture and design. Continual enhancement to the UI 😇 If you have any ideas, feel free to create an open issue to add value and help the project grow. Check out our current open issues and roadmap for inspiration on how the project can continue to evolve over time. |

I encountered a deployment error, which was caused by a missing "[" in the JSON file, even after fixing the merge conflict. However, the issue has been resolved and your contribution can now be viewed on the live link. |
Hello Alexander! I saw your long message in reponse to my comment regarding design and what I contributed. I regret not majoring in engineering although I was too far along the chemistry track to continue with school and graduate later. I was only able to realize the realistic possibility of that path late and I am hoping through this |

Hello Tyler! Thank you for taking the time to contribute while at work and for your reply. You are correct in sharing the first timers only repo as a similar idea to this project in providing value to new developers in learning the git-flow process and contributing to open source - this was one of the repos we modeled this project after. We have included the It's great to hear that you want to assist in growing this project and contribute. Don't regret anything because every experience leads us to the bridges we choose for ourselves. Your mission is important because design in software is necessary for users to connect with the software they use, often daily. I am in the north of Spain, where the architecture is predominantly old buildings, some of which have been remastered or remodeled while still preserving the stonework. Additionally, I think of architecture from the perspective of the book Fountain Head by Ayn Rand. The book highlights the importance of architecture as a means of self-expression and the dangers of conformity and mediocrity in the field. I agree with the importance of walkable cities. Most of the US layout isn't like this, which is one of the reasons I prefer a lifestyle outside the US. Regardless of problems, there are always opportunities, so let's channel our time to skills, creating value, testing out ideas, failing, and learning. Thank you for your feedback/suggestions and I am reading now👍🏻 |
