Okay. Here we go.

This is just a non-functional preview. It should configure itself to mobile devices.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh wow, Gud, thanks!

Well, this is just a very early preview and I've done very little to customize the default styles in Bootstrap.

The new top header doesn't have the right colors and the links on it might change, but it gives you an idea.

The panel of links on the left made going to phone view view tricky so I removed it thinking it could be placed the header and right sidebar.

I'm not sure the layout works well at tablet size, but I think it looks good at phone and desktop size. It will probably need some tweaking.

I like what you've done with it, Gudanov.

The development site has been updated.

www.buffistas.me

Colors are a bit better. And you can click on the test thread and see posts. The one thread and two posts are coming out of the database instead of being static now. It also now uses https (will automatically redirect http).

I think I will tackle login and all that stuff and then open things up to contribution.

To work on the site you'll need git, a gitlab account, a local webserver, mysql (other databases might work okay but scripts to populate with test data might need tweaking), php, and composer. On Apache you'll need the rewrite mod.

It uses the following PHP libraries: Propel for ORM, Twig for Templating, Pimple for Dependency Injection, Slim for URL routing, and Monolog for logging. Composer will pull those in so you don't need to grab them.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You rock for moving us forward, Gud!

Our wings are not tired.

Thanks, Gud. I can't code, but I can test like a maniac when you are ready.

Read New is going to have to be a lot more prominent on the mobile version.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Will we luddites who only read on computer (my smart phone...isn't allowed to be) have the option to keep the present look? I'll bet that's way too much trouble, huh?

Maybe the left-sidebar can appear if the browser window gets wide enough.
