Feature Request: Search Bar, Default Settings and more!
GetLikha opened this issue · comments
I showed in the live design a search bar that searches through community.silex.me, github and your own projects:
Here's the live preview btw: https://projects.getlikha.com/silex/proposals/
Google Search is definitely privacy-invasive and just difficult, maybe Algolia DocSearch is better-? or FlexSearch? Maybe some open-sourced solution on GitHub
We also noticed we have to change the default settings in Silex all the time, for example, the default website resolution, default background color for elements and sections, default font, default visibility, language, fonts, etc. It just reduces efficiency when copy-pasting elements and having to change the background color to none and the default visibility, etc.
For the Link section, I noticed that target doesn't work for some reason, more particularly _blank. Maybe only on Desktop version.
I don't know what the different styles are for, the All Style and the other styles you can custom create. Can you explain maybe? Speaking of which, a simple tooltip in each setting, or just on more technical setting, explaining the use would be great for new users!
Also for favicon, it would also be a good idea to add a cdn/image link option with webp support!
We'd also love to contribute by creating user docs, articles and video tutorials and content for Silex in our spare time! Anything to contribute to an open-sourced project with amazing potential.
Goodluck!
My brains come up with plenty of potential features randomly so expect that, how about community-driven templates instead? Aside from other external templates, Silex users can create and upload their own template, comment and discuss, maybe even friendly competitions? Just seeing a vision for Silex and falling in love with the idea of it every second.
Maybe like a community.silex.me/templates or something? And in the dashboard you can add community updates to keep Silex users posted!
Hello
I think the search bar idea is really good. Also the community templates (could be as simple as a section in the forums + a gitlab repo for people to add their templates ?)
On a practical level, there are many ideas in one issue, it makes it harder to vote for it or to discuss it. It would be better 1 issue per idea or group of ideas
But don't do 10 issues in 1 go ;D
Would you edit your issue to leave only the search bar part? Then start a discussion in the forums about templates maybe, and then other discussions to ask your questions in a few days or so?
Also i would be happy to do more meetups on subject we can discuss in the forums, and help you create content too, I like the blog post you did!

I'll do that soon, sorry again!
No problem, thank you for the great ideas and feedback and good vibes
