I'll try to add everything needed for this tonight at the hack night! @prestonp will be helping out with this.

@mateoclarke I just poked around the budgetparty main repo. I saw it's built in react, what if I made the landing page a node package, that you could just npm install and plug in for the root route.

npm install --save-dev budgetparty-landing

import Landing from 'budgetparty-landing'

...

render() {
  <Landing/>
}

That sounds spiffy! Before you do that, I'd want to take a step back and pose this question to @VictoriaODell too.

Where should the landing page live Vickie? Should it replace the app and be at the URL austinbudget.party? If so, what URL would the app live at? Or did we want to purchase a different domain (re: #105)?

More options: We could have it hosted as a subdomain at something like about.austinbudget.party. Or it could be at a subdirectory, like austinbudget.party/about.

@prestonp, if we go with the subdirectory option, the node package method you suggested would work too with React Router.

@VictoriaODell and I talked about this tonight. We think it makes sense to go ahead and have the landing page live at austinbudget.party. And Vickie said she would work on updating the design assets to make the main call to action "Login" or "Join the Party" or whatever.

Currently, when you go to austinbudget.party, you either get redirected to /login if you aren't authed, or /dashboard if you are. So making that module like you suggested @prestonp sounds 👍

I made some updates, a mobile view of the landing page, and added a little style reference sheet thing. The most recent version is in this folder here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwKb2oghmQldYXU3LXdWVG9fcFE

@prestonp can you review and lmk if you have any questions or if anything is off/weird? I've been working on this for a little while so my eyes are a little crossed 😵 If all's good I'll start to save out assets.

I think we can move to the other repo from here, yeah?

TY.

Maybe I should inline the components into this project. There's not a whole lot of markup and I think trying to isolate all the styling is a lot harder than it has to be.

@prestonp can we sync on this later tonight or tomorrow? It would be nice if we could just the homepage working for desktop and mobile up by Tuesday.

[prestonp]

@VictoriaODell Yes! I should be able to submit a pull req to the main repo tonight.

Think there are a couple outstanding issues to get this working 💯 but those are captured separately. Let's call this issue donzo and 👏 for @VictoriaODell & @prestonp for leading this!!!
