Very compelling ideas, @RuudRon While Redplanet’s friend has done a phenominal job, it was not 100% complete. I think that this was purposeful, to give the community a chance to provide their insights. Redplanet’s friend provided the bones and it is now on us to flesh it out.
What I like about your ideas are the focuses of security and privacy.
I have attempted to relay similar information in this design Website landing page revamp - #35 by webDev in the area with the colourful backgrounds I added something about Privacy.
Tell me your thoughts. The icons for each coloured space are placeholder icons btw. They are rough.
We need to be careful able what we say about others. If we have lack positive things to say about someone else or some other entity, it is maybe better to say nothing at all?
I also like your quote “Since its founding in 2010, there has been no known cases of distributed malware on F-Droid.” I’d also add that where there’s security concerns or known issues these are clearly shown and it’s easy to see how up to date the app is, by using the info on the app’s screen.
Although the above points are not directly made in Redplanet’s friends idea, I do think that it is succintly encapsulated by the phrase “open-source made easy”. So I have repeated a variation of that phrase in the footer.
I like your ideas regarding installation instructions, “How to use/install”. To try and make this landing page as clean as possible I put a link under the download button, “What’s this?” , with the intention of linking to a page with Install instructions and tips on how to verify the download using PGP signatures etc. Tell me if you think the footer should instead have a link, “Installation Guide”? I’m actually not privy to all the install methods so will be depending on an existing knowledge base.
