Title: Let's advertise the GUI on bitshares.org
Post by: jakub on November 02, 2015, 04:44:27 pm
A very simple idea: why not make several screen-shots of the GUI and display them boldly on https://bitshares.org (https://bitshares.org)?
I know the GUI is still an unfinished product but even at this stage it is quite remarkable and to put it simply - quite beautiful. We should be proud of it.
The GUI is a strong selling point so why not take advantage of it?

If I were new to BTS and was shown these screenshots, I'd be very intrigued and I'd want to try it out.

good idea!

Also I think the live bts price should always be displayed at the top of the website and the GUI for that matter.

another thing bitshares.org needs is big simple buttons saying click here to download bitshares 2 for windows and click here to download bitshares 2 for mac. Instead of linking to github.

I know us geeks like it for logical reasons but average joe doesn't.

I say no reason to tell them to download anything. Go to openledger and create a wallet + account. Easy. No worrying about keeping software up to date, installing it etc.

I do agree with sentiment regarding linking to github tho. No reason to alienate the avg. jane or joe.

there should be just one big button on bitshares.org "Create a Free Wallet" and a little "learn more" link.
