Improve Website: Add Resources for New Contributors

Issue Description

I would like to suggest an improvement to our website that can help new contributors get started with open source contributions more easily. By adding a dedicated section with resources, we can provide valuable information and tools that can make the contribution process smoother and more accessible.

   • Examples and best practices for using Git in open source projects.

2. Markdown (MD) File Usage:

   • A tutorial on how to write and format Markdown files, including headings, lists, links, images, and code blocks.
   • Best practices for creating README files and documentation using Markdown.

3. Contribution Guidelines:

   • Detailed steps on how to fork a repository, make changes, and submit a pull request.
   • Explanation of common terms and processes in open source contributions.

4. Setting Up the Development Environment:

   • Instructions on how to set up a local development environment for our project, including dependencies and tools needed.

5. Code of Conduct:

   • A clear and concise code of conduct to ensure a welcoming and respectful environment for all contributors.

• I am willing to help create and compile these resources.

@Rupa-Rd assign this to me i will add more open source programs . I am working under VSOC

The blog page has been created by a wonderful contributor, to link the blog page the blog page button is needed.

Tasks should be completed

1. Blog button in the navbar

Important note:

1. Do not change the website's theme and color
2. Go with the button's default theme in the website

Fade in for all the buttons on website (email, link,login,search bar, search button, all the cards and header) upon loading of the website.

General additions, include navigation bar with more options + footer for the front page + the log in page has some issue as shown in picture below, also we could make the cards of the events a bit more interactive along with that add a scrolling banner at the front page to show off the events, that might look cooler.

1. Adding border radius
2. Adding Hover effect
3. Adding a transition effect
4. The button goes a little darker and floats on hovering
5. Tooltips (hovering tip)
6. Similar hovering and Tooltips effect on Search Icon (with the same color changes [little darker])

Before:

After:

Tooltip update:

Search bar should filter items as according to what is searched.

The website currently lacks a dedicated "About Us" section. About us section can provide valuable information and build trust with potential users

Addition of a chatbot would help new users to get custom answers along with that make, chatbots on websites offer 24/7 support, answer questions, and help visitors navigate. This improves customer service. and user hospitality and it would be easier for them to understand and navigate the website

The current version of the Open-Source Galaxy website lacks the remainder feature. Since, the sending remainder is the main objective of the open source galaxy I would like the contributor to work with the JavaScript file to create remainders.

Tasks to be done:

1. Remainders for the upcoming events with date and time of event registration opens.
2. Deadline remainders to the users
3. Deadline closed remainders

The search bar and the search icon are at a different place it has the be modified properly for better UI

The boxes on the website are not aligned properly some are out of range it has to be placed properly

• [ ]
  

This is the shape of the current file.

Changes I suggest:

1. Addition of OAuth using Flask
2. General Changes in UI Design, by removing black space, and adding suitable images etc.
3. New authentication user database.

Here its hard to distinguish title, button and link
So these can be designed uniquely with icons and background color of cards can be changed and glassmorphism, roundedness can be introduced

Icon brings better UX and authentication to the website. It can be added with a good design

• Adding a good Background to the website
• show 4 tiles isntead of 3. The tiles look too big in the current layout

1. Applying hovering feature on Email buttons on cards. (Only applied on "Link" buttons before)
2. Streamlining the display of 6 new cards :

Before:

**After: **

adding images and transitions + making css more effective

Simply using Google sheets as a backend server

Current README file has contain the outline of why the project has been developed.
The task of the contributor is to edit the existing readme.md file by adding gifs, images and detailed workflow of the website.

the overall experience of the website is not ready for end user. i suggest to improve the header and a footer. plz assign this task to me.

The issue is that when a user clicks on a link, it opens on the same tab, preventing them from opening multiple tabs at the same time.

Expansion from not only Summers of Open Source, but also adding open source programs that operate in the winter to expand scope of website.

@Rupa-Rd assign this issue to me I wil enhance it . I am working under VSOC . Thanks

Footer that states the following things:

• Mini description of the site
• Subscribe with the email
• Social Media Links

How to setup project locally in Readme.md is missing , this can create a trouble in contributors contribuiting process .
@Rupa-Rd assign me I will add all the steps . Thanks

1. informing users about the website (with changes in bg color)
2. the navbar with links to closed, upcoming projects, login and sign up

Current condition

Expected behavior:

Change the background of the website for both light and dark mode according to the style of the website

Creating a description popup for each card.
When the user clicks the image of the open source event, it should pop a description of the event.

Things to remember

1. Stick the primary colors of the webpage,
2. Make more responsive
3. Make a smoother transition

The fonts and colors combo is not appealing and cards style can be improved too by adding icons and roundness.

Description

• Create a new blog page to display the experience of the open source events listed on the open source galaxy website.
• Use the same styling format as main page
• Use the same font, color
