Intro

Visionscan provides a way for First Validator to publish their information right where the voters are, on Visionscan!

First Validator can use this template to build a static page which will be shown on Visionscan. The link will be placed in the voting overview page right next to the name.

By editing files in the repository on Github the First Validator can manage their own content.

FAQ

• I've modified a file but the changes aren't visible on visionscan.org?
  Contents from the repository are served using the Github CDN which uses aggressive caching. It may take a few minutes before the changes are reflected on visionscan.org.
• Why are HTML elements visible on Github but not on visionscan.org?
  Visionscan.org will sanitize all HTML tags for security reasons, only standard markdown tags are allowed
