Projects Page update

The Projects page has had a bit of a design update. Mostly driven by the fact that the entire file structure behind it was a mess. Also, the Archives now has a dedicated page linked from the Projects Page.

http://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/archives/index.html

Changes to the Projects Page: all the project docs and associated drill templates (.psd files) can be downloaded together in a zip. Also, schematics for every project can be viewed directly from the Projects Page.

All feedback welcomed for any other changes you want to see.

Good idea, surprising how many times a quick glance at just the schematic is needed.

It's the first thing I look at myself for anyone's project. Long overdue here.

Should I have another button to view just the pdf docs, too? Is that convenient instead of having to d/l the zip with the doc and drill file, then unzip before you even see the doc?

If that's an option then that would be great. Just a personal thing, but I'd much rather click to open a pdf than download a zip file.

This I prefer..

That would be great. I've browsed the PDFs a lot, it's about 10 more clicks to dig it out of the ZIP.

I second that emotion

I agree on the pdf link too. That way viewing on mobile is still possible.

I agree with all this, I can't open the zips on mobile at all. Having PDFs would be super nice.

I love having the schematics linked though. (I should stop whining cause that's all I really need)

madbean

I'll get the PDF links up tomorrow. Also, I think I'll put a zip archive of all current schematics, including the discontinued and Etchers Paradise. That would be a great reference library for folks to have. There are a couple hundred I think.

I really like the new projects page layout, the ability to view the PDF schematic before considering a project is most welcome.

Thanks!

Really? After installing 7zip and acrobat, Firefox seems up for the task on my computer. If I click a zip on the projects it downloads/unzips to the memory, open it in Acrobat directly from there. But a short cut can't hurt I guess ;)

Liking the updated look. I do think that the joke with your homepage has gone on for long enough now though :P
