Hi Reddit. I own a blog that gets modest traffic of about 2,500 views per week. I'd like to make a series of minor changes to the way I present information in the articles on the blog by adapting certain aspects of the tufte-css
approach into my own stylesheet.
Broadly speaking, the modifications I'd like to make include (but aren't limited to):
support margin notes (small amounts of additional text, images, and content that goes in the margin)
support sidenotes (footnotes that go in a separate margin column rather than the end of the document, taking advantage of the CSS
counter(...)
feature)support sidenotes/footnotes on small width screens using the
tufte-css
approach (the notes become toggle-able checkboxes which put the text inline, like this vs. this)support full-width content that spans both the margin and main columns
remove some metadata clutter that I don't think is positioned well or necessary on my blog-article template
amend the template to work with certain wide tables better
The blog is a GitHub pages site that uses Ruby and Jekyll 3 for its build pipeline. Everything builds and deploys with a single command. (You don't need to be proficient in Ruby to work on this, though you should be comfortable with the command line; I'm just mentioning it for completeness.)
Pay is US$2,500. (You will need a PayPal or other bank account capable of receiving US funds.) There is no explicit deadline, but I'd like to be wrapped up by the end of April (in time for some talks I'm doing).
If you're interested, please PM me with the following information:
examples from your portfolio that demonstrate you write clear, readable, minimally-hacky CSS
a public
git
(just needs to begit
, not necessarily hosted on GitHub) repository you've worked on, to demonstrate you can use gitlinks to your Twitter profile, blog, or other public presence you have (even if it's not updated frequently or at all), to demonstrate you can communicate ideas well
Please only apply if you're an individual, not an agency or a firm.
