First impression of a Twitter view of the ‘About’ text
The first visible line:
- is superflous
- promotes the forum in a way that is, I think, unnecessarily constrained
– someone who is neither a designer nor a developer might turn away.
ASAP please: can you reduce that text? Be ruthless. Skip the word ‘community’ (that’s implicit), and so on. Maybe change it from:
We are a community of designers and developers pushing more open design processes and improving the user experience and interface design of open source software.
– to something like:
promoting more open design processes • improving the user experience and interface design of open source software
– Unicode U+2022 for the bullet.
I’d like to tell how it will appear in future tweets.
If you need help finding it, for edition: it’s the text that appears at /about and (yes) you might cringe at the drop from uppercase to lower for the p in promoting, but I suspect that people will more often see the text in the context of e.g. tweets.
(I’ll refrain. Prefer Tweets to look better.)
