Hey all 👋 Here are a few projects the Design Team has contributed to over the past couple of weeks.
@joen is tinkering with @jameskoster on wild ideas for GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/ issue #36667: a dedicated space for navigation.
@javiarce and @joen started collaborating on improving the Cover Block to support multiple overlays.
@critterverse shared a modal design and flow for user-level block locking.
@estelaris has been working on an update to the hashtag and its future use in documentation articles.
As part of the redesign of end user documentation, the docs team is looking into changing the hashtag # used at the end of the headlines in the articles. The hashtag nowadays has a different connotation but mainly because it is not accessible. The aria label applied to the hashtag makes screen readers duplicate the headline without warning or explanation.
The purpose is to remove the character # but not the functionality of an anchor link.
@fcoveram started exploring an icon for the 3D models content type Openverse is discussing displaying in a separated result.
@javiarce started improving the WordPress Design Library. He upgraded the containers used to showcase the components and the examples, added descriptions, cleaned up some components, and refined the information blocks. He also analyzed the state of the components and variants, wrote a to-do list to highlight the pending work, and drafted a plan to deprecate the old components.
