feedback: cmd+f "install" on homepage comes up empty about nushell.github.io

One option might be to have the "Download Nushell" button, and not to have an Install or Get and keep the headers we have now. Would that work?

I think having it on the button makes it feel more like a call to action.

I think this can be closed now that the site has been updated.

These are 2 ideas I came up with

1. This one expands a little popup menu containing the other links when '⌄' is clicked
   
   

2. This one is more like the layout of the books with a sidemenu opening when the 'hamburger' is pressed
   
   

@yoshuawuyts @jonathandturner what do you think about it? Any other suggestions or improvements?

I also wonder if we should have a block of "how to install" on the main page towards the top. We could put it in a separate color so it's easier to notice.

Sites like http://www.typescriptlang.org/ have both the Download button and a section of how to install it a little later on the main page. Maybe we could do something like that?

I like the idea of having a clear call to action to "install/download" right at the top, and then a more elaborate section somewhere else on the page. I think typescript nails the priorities in that regard, as people visiting the page will likely want to do one of 3 things:

• find out what the project is about
• install the project
• figure out how to do a particular thing (which usually means referencing the docs)

The first screen people see captures all of this. I think this caters nicely to people with different knowledge levels about the project, and makes the main page really useful!

Yes it that worked. I had to reduce the font size on mobile devices by 1px. But I think that didn't reduce the readability that much.

How it looks on mobiles:

That seems like a nice thing to add.

Maybe with that section added we should delete the Installation page on the website so we don't have to keep 3 different guides to install Nu up to date.

Or we could use links like https://www.nushell.sh/installation.html#installing-from-cratesio to refer to the correct section on the Installation page.
