Expand classes on homepage #821

I personally think this is really cool. I've been doing Ruby/Rails development for almost 10 years, and seeing some of the classes listed gives me inspiration on things to learn about. |

👋 I really like this idea! Some of my quick & immediate thoughts:

Thanks for the feedback! |

Hey @p8 👋 are you still working on this? I think this would be a great change to merge. Is there any assistance I can offer? |
|
Hey @colby-swandale, yes hopefully I can make some changes soon. |
Instead of listing 6 classes on the homepage, why not list most of the classes found in the Ruby standard library? This shows beginners and experienced developers what is available, and lets them discover lesser known classes.

This is a really cool idea @p8. Do you need any help getting this ready to merge? |
|
Thanks @olivierlacan. I've expanded the descriptions to be more textual. |
|
I'm really liking the direction this is taking! It greatly expands on the broader things available in Ruby while keeping the page simple and easy to understand. This could be a good opportunity to tinker with the homepage a bit, I'm keen to hear on any ideas to make the homepage more intuitive and easier to understand for various users (but not a requirement for this PR). Any examples also welcome! |

@colby-swandale I do wonder if there's an opportunity to use the AnywayConfig + DRY Struct combo here as well. Not that it's a requirement of Petrik's PR by any means, but it could be nice to have a very consistent layout between boxes by forcing them all to conform a basic format. @p8 I know you mentioned Slim. Colby removed Slim a little while ago. Your branch is quite out of date (sorry that this has taken so long...), but if you rebase to main, the whole site is .html.erb now. |

Thanks everyone! |

@colby-swandale This is just a quick proof-of-concept.
You can close this if you don't like this or want a completely different implementation.
And thanks creating rubyapi :)
