Is it possible to have latest blog post appear on www.openampproject.org main page?

[nathalie-ckc]

Hi @kylekirkby ,

Got a suggestion from @wmamills in PR #94 that it would be helpful if the latest blog post appeared on the www.openampproject.org main page, if it is <6 mo old. Is that feasible?

Thanks & regards,
Nathalie

@kylekirkby is the above possible/easy?

Hi @kylekirkby , following up on the question from @wmamills .

Hi,

Happy to do this.

Just to clarify, did you want the entire blog content instead of the text that starts with SoCs (System on a Chip) are becoming more heterogeneous, ? And presumably the same general template as the blog pages, with recent posts at the bottom?

[wmamills]

Hi @louismorgan-linaro . Good question. If you have existing examples of this please point to them.

We will need @nathalie-ckc 's input as well but looking at the page, perhaps we could have a sliding jumbotro in the black trangle area. It should start with the existing content (Logo Text and github button) but them after N seconds go a card of the most recent blog and the again after N go to the 2nd most recent and then back to the original content.

Is that doable?

Hi @wmamills ,
Yes, it is possible to implement a sliding jumbotron as described in your message.

@DelaraGi @pcolmer Hey just noticed this was Live. Looks good!

@nathalie-ckc take a look and close this issue if you approve as I do.

If you don't want the blog posts to remove that hero banner, we can move them lower down the page. Personally, I think the "<" and ">" symbols might be a bit hard to see over that background and it might not be intuitive as to what you are going to get by scrolling sideways.

An alternative approach would be to have 3 "cards" of the latest posts, like the Linaro does but maybe not so tall?

If you want to see what that might look like, we can do it as a pull request so that a preview site gets built for comparison.

@pcolmer , if it's not too much trouble, your idea sounds interesting & would be interested to see it as a PR preview site.

@nathalie-ckc please see https://production-openampproject-org-113.ghactions.linaro.org/ for a preview of the suggested alternative approach.
