TODO[edit]

  • header hardcode
  • footer style
  • fix feature list 3 into 2 into 1 columns
  • code cleanup

Need[edit]

  • confirm using google fonts is ok
    • not ok
  • Footer style
  • Header style
  • Big image for spotlight feature? "Enforces tor network connections, with full operating system virtualization". Replaces current duckduckgo image

Archive[edit]

  • Gray scale freedom of press logo. As per https://stackoverflow.com/questions/609273/convert-an-image-to-grayscale-in-html-css [archive] ?
    • The one small red square actually looks good.
  • lower size of duckduck go browser image (it currently is out of proportion, way bigger than all other images)
    • Both the tbb screenshot section and the "impossible to leak" are [large text | large image] image sections that highlight the biggest reasons to use whonix.
    • I realized "uses tbb" isn't a special feature, and I combined the two into "All activity takes place inside a virtual machine, all internet traffic is routed through Tor". Will need better text and image
  • The "Advanced Security Features" section could be similar to the "Fully Featured" section. Also using medium images.
    • At this point we'd be making "one big list of features" that our inspiration websites don't do. (One long list is boring and everything is treated as one thing in a long list.
    • The advanced security features tend to be more nerd stuff directed at an audience that doesn't need an image if isn't required, and easily ignored (but appreciated) by the nontechnical

    • In simple terms, Whonix is just a collection of configuration files and scripts. Whonix ™ is not a stripped down version of Debian; anything possible in "vanilla" Debian GNU/Linux can be replicated in Whonix ™. Likewise, most problems and questions can be solved in the same way. For example: "How do I install VLC Media Player on Whonix ™?" -- "The same way as in Debian apt-get install vlc. Whonix ™ does not break anything, limit functionality, or prevent installation of compatible software. Since Ubuntu is a Debian derivative, online help for Ubuntu most often works for Whonix ™.
