Build landing page about water-me

[inigochoa]

Sure. Do you have any design in mind?

[inigochoa]

Hey!

I made some updates to the landing site. Let me know what do you think.

[inigochoa]

Hey @abertschi !

Hope everything is OK

[inigochoa]

Hey!
do you want help building a landing page to promote the app?

[abertschi]

Hey back,

Yes - do you want to work on this?

[abertschi]

No, not really. It would be nice if the site reflects the colors of the app itself, but does not have to. It can resemble a "conventional" app landing which informs of the feature and shows some screenshots.

For instance:
https://dribbble.com/search/landing-page

But feel free to bring in your own ideas. If you want feedback feel free to post some design iterations here.

It should further be mobile friendly and can link to the github for code and fdroid for binary.

cheers and thanks

maybe we can play with the idea that most apps out there require you to sign up, hurt your privacy, and track your user activities. the purpose of this app is to be simple, open and privacy respecting. installation is simple, and features are limited to the essentials, no schnickschnack.

[inigochoa]

Ok. Will check some ideas and keep you up to date

[inigochoa]

Hey! I've been working on the desktop version. Let me know what you think

[abertschi]

Great, Looks good. We just have to make sure it is also mobile friendly and renders well on a phone.

[inigochoa]

Sure. I've been working on them this morning. I also modified some sizes to make spacing better.

Desktop:

Tablet:

Mobile:

If you want to change anything, just let me know. Otherwise, we should be thinking about the content (texts, images, features, ...)

[inigochoa]

Hey @abertschi !

I deployed the site to GitHub pages so you can check it on your own. Keep in mind that it lacks content and animations.

Let me know what you think

[abertschi]

Looks good. thanks. the only thing we could change is the logo/ title. looks a bit plain. the rest is good 👍

[inigochoa]

Sure. Just wanted to place something there. Maybe a logo with the app name on the right? The app name in a fancy font?

If you like the rest, we should talk about the content of each section

Sounds good. Yeah i dont have something in mind, you can be creative :)

As for the content: we can use the content from the README, without the technical details. The purpose of the app should be quite clear and the functionalities are not complicated. Either you write some things on your own and I change it later on or I post some ideas in another comment.

[abertschi]

Some ideas:

• Keep your plants happy and healthy.

• Water me is a plant watering reminder app. It's simple, open source, and it respects your privacy. No ads, no tracking, no accounts – just pure plant care!

features:

• Customizable Watering Schedule
• Create Pictures, add Plant Details
• Notification Reminders
• No Remote Entity
• Import and Export
• Free and Open-Source
• Runs on Android

The the layout looks scarce on desktop, if you can come up with more text feel free to do so, otherwise I suggest you create a pull request to merge the source code into ./landing of the root of this repository so we get this merged into master. Also, add yourself to the authors file 👍

[abertschi]

Hi @inigochoa, thank you for all your work.
I suggest we merge it into /landing/ of this repository. Do you want me to copy it myself or will you create a PR? thanks+cheers.
