Website style guide about xournalpp.github.io HOT 9 OPEN

I think it should be put in README and in About section.
In case of pinning i think, that we could pin Promoting xournalpp xournalpp/xournalpp#2045, and just ask for editing first message (i mean this point about creating new page)

from xournalpp.github.io.

I think we should add link to this page in main Xournal++ repository (although it is still under construction), because this would inform more people (including contributors) about existence of this site and would speed up its creation.

@ptiuk I think so, too. Where would you like to link it? In the Readme.md that is displayed on the main page of the repository? Or with a pinned issue?

It would be good to add buttons to top bar (like on example site), but I don't know how to do it.
Then we could move on to creating custom main site.

I don't know if the style of the website is still a priority (or even something with minimal relevance), but I recently ended up on this website from the polybar project and I think it is very very good. His style is very clean and the colors remind me of recycled paper or something.

What do you think?

Note: I know almost nothing on the technical side, so if the suggestion breaks Rolando's last point about the simplicity of the design, just ignore it.

From the technical side this looks hard to combine with mkdocs. We should stick to mkdocs (and the material theme).

I think one project that we can take inspiration from is Visual Studio Code
Their documentation is simple, to the point and accessible even to non-technical people

The website needs screenshots, the README on github has some already!

@YellowOnion Sure. This will help to achieve the goal

looks visually appealing and gives a visual impression how working with Xournal++ looks like

We'll wait until the new icons (PR #2886) are merged though (which should happen soon).
