Our Work - Design fixes about civicdatalab.github.io HOT 11 CLOSED

@apoorv74 I just looked at Medium's RSS feed response, and yes, what you are suggesting is possible. It can be done without a lot of effort once the tags are correctly updated.

@apoorv74 We are already doing the 3 projects per row on high resolution screens (2K+) but not on anything that's less than 1920px wide. Divya also suggested against doing it on normal screen resolutions as they look too cluttered.

Sticking with 2 projects per row on <1920px wide screens. On higher resolutions, there would be 3 projects per row.

Not sure what this means: Add header title for the blogs
Lemme know what's to be changed and please assign it back to me.

Hey @akkisagiraju .

When we filter on a particular sector. The following section could be titled blogs. Also do you think we should move to the new design for these blogs too?

from civicdatalab.github.io.

@TheDataAreClean I added the project title just for differentiating among all the projects in the sector. I have no strong opinions on this. We can also replace this with new blogs strip if we want to. But the problem is, there's no straightforward way to filter our blogs on Medium based on projects or sector.

Hmmm. Then let's not for now @akkisagiraju . Just a header is enough.

@akkisagiraju the blog strip on the home-page is looking much better than what it is here. If possible, we should follow the same design throughout the website. We can curate the blogs data in the same way as we're doing for other content, if that will help ? Let us know.

from civicdatalab.github.io.

@apoorv74 I agree that the latest blog strip looks better.

But the way I'm pulling data from Medium is via usernames. For getting all CDL's blog posts, it's very straightforward, I just enter the username as 'civicdatalab' and the code I wrote pulls everything from CDL's medium publication.

At the same time, fetching the blog posts by bandhus is slightly different. By default it gets all the blog posts ever written by the bandhu, for CDL or otherwise. There I'm filtering the posts written for CDL by checking for the publication name in the post body. If it has the word 'CivicDataLab' then they pass the check.

Doing the same thing for sectors/projects is going to be difficult unless we have a fixed way of identifying that from a blog post.

from civicdatalab.github.io.

@akkisagiraju we can use tags to identify the blog posts for every sector. Every blog on CDL's publication is tagged under one of these categories:

Can we use this logic to identify the posts ? We might still face issues to identify blogs for a project, to solve for that we can we can update the tags on medium and include a project-level tag as well. Can this be done ?

Update:

Removed the blog strip. We have included a resources section which will have a list of blogs/articles/video.

Blogs now have the project/sector tags in the content curation sheet.
