Feedback on fund.krita.org

It seems this caused some visual bugs with the fund.krita.org site. Looking at the wayback machine on the 6th it seems more stylized and the fonts on the new one seem off.

Probably most obvious to see looking at the bottom links.

Checking the network requests in my browser (press F12 to see) it seems the fund site looks for some content from the main site thats no longer there:

It looks like there is some work going on with the fund.krita.org site. I would say it is better to start a new thread as this thread is about the marketing site, not the funding site. It is kind of confusing since they are kind of connected and some people don’t realize they are using different web platforms and maintained by two different people.

The funds website on desktop definitely is looking a lot better (loving the sleek, modern look!) but there are two things worth mentioning:

Firstly, the topmost bubble for donations is clipped by the header, which should probably be addressed as it is a bit jarring to see. Secondly, in dark mode, some of the elements of the page aren’t rendering right; for one, the Krita logo at the top left is missing, and…

…as shown here, the donation levels don’t render properly, likely out of some CSS style that’s targeting them improperly. I have double checked to see if this happens in light mode, and it doesn’t - the only thing there would still be the donation bubble being cut off at the top.

This, and the hyperlink to the “old system” under the badges points to a dead link (404). Finally, and this is more of a personal preference, but the default saturated dark blue color for the donators with links is a bit intense, and doesn’t match the color theme of the rest of the page:

Finally, I’ve also noticed that the roadmap page does seem updated, as in, the language appears different and re-written, but it’s still written as though it’s currently 2018. Since I’m new to Krita, I wouldn’t be able to suggest how, in specific, to change this, but I do feel that each of the years starting from 2017 should have a quick paragraph talking about big feats in the community, and then maybe an unordered list of the feats accomplished by the Krita software itself, with 2024 being the very last entry. I feel that having a roadmap that’s nearly 6 years out of date would inspire a bit of worry in prospective users.

I think there is a separate discussion with the fund site. That is a different website, and also uses a different framework.I would probably post that there to keep it all together.

We could probably close this topic as well for krita.org as the new site is launched since a few weeks. This topic was giving feedback before it launched. New feedback can probably be on a separate thread.

Any further news on the website? It’s been a few months and the visual glitches are still there, which is unfortunate.

Based off the gitlab repository that tracks changes, it doesn’t appear anything has been done with the fund site since February. Websites / Krita Fund Website · GitLab

In the dark theme, the donation table text is not visible. The easiest fix for this is making the table’s background dark.

This is a hacky css fix for it (for people who inject custom css):

ul.l-table,
ul.l-table li.l-table-header {
background-color: #454545 !important;
}

I opened a PR to solve this issue

EDIT: I opened another PR to solve the bubble cutoff

EDIT2: I opened another PR to solve the logo issue, and opened a new issue detailing many problems with responsiveness and bugs on mobile.

I was initially hired for bug fixing in 2019 (there was at least two months focused solely on that), and since I was in charge of that, I obviously needed a proper title. That’s what Halla (the boss) said, and it stuck. :slight_smile:
