Discourse Sketch template

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around the idea of creating a default Discourse UI design template for Sketch. metakermit initially inquired about the existence of such a template, suggesting it would be helpful for designers customizing their Discourse instances. Upon not finding one, metakermit decided to create the template themselves and shared it on GitHub: https://github.com/balkanio/discourse-sketch. The template currently includes the topic list screen for desktop and mobile views. Additionally, metakermit created a screencast of the template creation process, available on YouTube. ashishdungdung commended the idea as innovative.

Anyone perhaps knows if there is a default Discourse UI design template for Sketch? A lot of people are customising their Discourse instances, so perhaps having a starter Sketch template would make it easier for a designer to jump in and try out some changes. Just wondering if the Discourse team or someone else maybe has such a file on hand or should I make one myself :slight_smile:

That’s a quite innovative idea.

Hey, just to let anyone who’s interested know – I made this default theme template in Sketch after all since I need it for my own design customisation. Feel free to reuse it – I uploaded the files to GitHub:

So far it’s only the topic list screen on desktop and mobile views, but I think that this gives you a good starter for experimenting with your own theme. Later on it would be nice to also have a topic view too.

I also created a screencast while I was making this template (narration in Croatian) in case anyone finds that helpful:
