Curious about design at Discourse? Here’s your chance to get behind-the-scenes look from the talented designers who shape both our internal platform and customer communities.
During this session, you’ll hear from designers across Discourse as they share:
Design tips and customizations you can explore for your community.
Insights into how our design team is structured at Discourse.
Our design team’s unique approaches to design challenges.
How we collaborate and bring projects to life.
Highlights of favorite design projects.
This is a great opportunity to connect with our design experts. Plus, there will be a live Q&A where you can get your specific questions answered.
Great to hear you will be talking about design and Discourse!
Unfortunately, I will also not be able to join live, so if up-front questions are okay, and if it’s not too much for the scope of this session, it would be great to learn more about how the Discourse design team conceptualizes the general Discourse UX, especially for the main page, and how things might evolve in the future (sidebar, filter elements in the main content header, personal menu, notifications, etc.).
My impression is that currently due to the way things evolved over time, there’s a bit of overlap between different elements (e.g. category filter in side bar and in content header, or personal message in side bar and in personal menu), and I struggle to build clear mental models of the different building blocks of the page [1]. But it’s also perfectly possible that the Discourse design team approaches this topic with a different lens than me.
