It's a gallery of awesome stuff Tech@NYU members have done. Tech@NYU is the "entrepreneurship club at NYU that ships" so let's show it off. It's sort of like a one-topic site (a la http://istheltrainfucked.com/).
It is live at http://techatnyuships.heroku.com/
This repo is intended to be as simple as possible to make it easy to contribute. No templating or markup language, no confusing servers, just a static page of HTML and CSS that's easy to change.
To get started:
git clone
cd techatnyuships
gem install rack
rackup
Maneuver your browser-of-choice to http://localhost:9292/ (Rack's default setup) and you'll see the site!
If you've never used git before, you'll need to learn, so here's a guide: Simple Guide to Git
An example project is below. Your project should generally conform to this one, use the same styles, etc.
<hr class="divider">
<div class="project">
<div class="description">
<h2>Project Name</h2>
<h3>Techa@NYU member's names<i class="alumni"></i></h3>
<p>
One sentence description. Followed by a longer, in depth description that
is 300 characters or less.
</p>
<p>
<a class="live_link" href="linktoyourproject.com">http://linktoyourproject.com</a>
</p>
</div>
<div class="image">
<img src="/img/imageyouadded.jpg" />
</div>
</div>- Project description should be 300 chars or less
- You MUST have a project image (but it can be anything) and it should be 380 by 260 px.
- Save the earth and keep load times down by keeping your image to 30kb or less.
(These rules are open to debate and change, but for now they are:)
- One project per Tech@NYU member (i.e., post your best one, not all of them)
- "Shipped" means available for public consumption. If it's a library, that means posting to GitHub, if it's a product, that means having the product in a live public beta, etc. No private stuff/launchrock pages count as "shipped".
- There is no project too small or too large, as long as it's shipped.
- Alumni projects are OK, but should follow all the other rules as well. Put an alumni tag next to alumni names.
