The New Site is Live!

It’s been a while in the making, but the new site is finally live. It’s built on Jekyll and hosted on GitHub Pages. All the content has been drafted, save for a chunk of the User Guide. It’s really cool to see the pipeline (GitHub Actions / Workflows) run with each deploy. And it’s especially cool to see the responsive CSS that I threw together for the landing page working on different screens and platforms. It’s starting to feel like a real project.

At this stage of the game, it’s worth repeating the previous post’s status and rationale for StimDeck. Of course, I couldn’t resist fixing several typos and updating the mockup image while I was quoting the original post.

The developers at Stimulus.com have rightly decided to focus on building new features over other tasks like creating mobile apps or an API for the new platform. I missed the multi-feed site viewer that’s available on the blue-bird site, though. So, I decided to make one. That was the inspiration for and the genesis of StimDeck.

StimDeck is a heads-up display (HUD) for Stimulus.com that allows users to view several feeds simultaneously. Due to technical constraints, stimdeck is not a web app. It’s a desktop application that pulls the site’s live content into what are basically mobile-friendly, narrow columns that can be viewed side-by-side.

NOTE: StimDeck is the unofficial HUD for Simulus.com. This project is not affiliated with or endorsed by Sticker Mule, Stimulus, their subsidiaries, employees, associates, vendors, families, or pets. It’s a simple app created by one of their users — @groundh0g.
