Blog section needs work

[mjashanks]

http://aletheia-foundation.io/blog lists all blog posts. Currently it works, but is a bit basic.

Lets make it better. A few basic improvements:

1. Style more fitting with the rest of the site
2. Include a bit more detail.. e.g. first paragraph, with a "read more.." (not sure if this is possible with Jekyll)
3. Pagination (there is only one post at the moment, so this is maybe not a pressing issue

Any other ideas welcome, keeping in mind that a future site redesign may happen soon.

2. Jekyll has a simple builtin "post preview": post.excerpt prints out the first paragraph of the post.

Are you expecting this blog to be responsive?

[mjashanks]

@AshBardhan Yes, the whole site should be responsive. I have done a bit of work on this, which may be enough for now. Unless anyone has any more comments on it.

[AshBardhan]

@mjashanks OK. However, I can do some changes in header and footer with some transition in icons and menus.

@AshBardhan great ☺

@AshBardhan if you are looking for something else to do, you could have a look at getting pagination to work :)

also, bear in mind that any header and footer changes will apply to the entire site, and across all device sizes. Thanks!

Hi, is the website going to be continued in Jekyll? Wouldn't it be better if we move to any modern frameworks like Angular or React or Vue.js? Yes, It requires hosting a back-end hosted in a server, but it is scalable and I guess can attract more contributors too. Also with a good UI developed overtime, it will be easier to browse through, forms to add blog posts and more features can be added!

PS : Hosting can be removed if we use serverless architecture.
