⭐ Introducing Ethereum Studio
At this time we’re excited to launch v 1.0 of Ethereum Studio: a easy web-based IDE, which lives proper on ethereum.org
One of the crucial constant ideas we’ve obtained for Ethereum.org is to enhance the developer expertise. Whereas the positioning pointed customers to in depth third-party assets, it lacked a compelling path that will pull a developer in direction of instantly making an attempt out Ethereum.
Ethereum Studio’s function is to let builders get began constructing on Ethereum inside minutes, with as little friction as doable. Studio lets customers:
- Write and check sensible contracts within the browser
- Join sensible contracts to a front-end net app
- Bootstrap their app with 3 template tutorials
- Share your mission in a single click on
Together with the Studio itself, we’ve added a brand new “Getting Began” web page to the Developer part. This can be a extra newbie pleasant touchdown web page for builders, which introduces the Studio and gives hyperlinks to different web-based studying experiences.
The aim of Studio isn’t to interchange or compete with the in depth web-based studying experiences already obtainable for Ethereum. As a substitute, we would like Studio to be a simple first-step to interact a developer and get them hooked earlier than directing them to different assets, instruments, or occasions to proceed their journey into Ethereum.
To construct Ethereum Studio, we collaborated with Superblocks. We are able to’t thank the Superblocks crew sufficient for the exhausting work they’ve put into this instrument. We additionally need to thank many others who made this mission doable: Andreas Wallendahl, Chris Ward, Robbie Bent, Martin Tellechea, and the many individuals who supplied suggestions and ideas.
Ethereum Studio is open-source, and the entire code is accessible right here. We’ll be persevering with to enhance the Studio over time, and have already got many enhancements deliberate for v 1.1. If you wish to get entangled, discover ways to contribute right here! If you happen to simply need to present suggestions, please fill out this quick survey.
🦄 Persona reorganization
Over the previous couple of months, we’ve been making an attempt to raised perceive the person personas of Ethereum.org. This implies analyzing key phrase search quantity, taking a look at web site visitors, contemplating the person personas utilized by comparable web sites, and speaking to our customers.
This course of has lead us to simplify the top-level group of Ethereum.org, to be organized round three core personas:
- People: particular person ETH holders, customers, and group members
- Builders: builders, or anybody with a technical curiosity in Ethereum
- Enterprise: enterprises, companies, and different organizations who need to perceive how Ethereum can profit them.
This straightforward group captures almost the entire person journeys we thought-about in our analysis. For now, that is merely a re-organization of present content material, however provides us a easy basis to increase the positioning over time.
Within the subsequent few weeks, we’ll even be publishing our analysis that lead us to this re-organization, within the hopes that it’s helpful to the group, and that others can level out methods we are able to enhance.
🛠 Bounties for ethereum.org growth
Two weeks in the past, we put up 10 bounties on Gitcoin to see if we may use the group’s assist to hurry growth of the web site. Up to now, it’s been an enormous success – we obtained submissions for each bounty, and the vast majority of these adjustments have already been built-in into the positioning. Thanks to everybody who submitted work!
Count on to see extra bounties for Ethereum.org sooner or later – control the @ethdotorg twitter account, the place we’ll publish them once they go up.
🎯 What’s subsequent?
This is a preview of our priorities for the subsequent few weeks:
- 🎨 Website-wide design enhancements & tweaks, introduction of a constant design system used for brand new pages
