I just wanted to give a shout out to the update I noticed on hex.pm. I love the snapshot of the Readme section and overall updated UI. Thank you and really appreciate the service and work :heart:

Oh ya, this looks great! Kudos to those involved.

The only thing that pokes out to me is the github icon. I feel it should be the generic </> icon like in hexdocs.

I love the new design of Hex.pm :ok_hand: But it would be better if the README.md could show a small preview and be expandable so users can view the full content if needed.

Kudos to @ericmj. He’s done an excellent job.

However, I do wish he’s a bit more open for his roadmap for Hexpm. There’s an entire community that’s eager to pitch in. Make use of that!

Does hex need a successor feature, like github? Turns out github has one, which is great. But if a package maintainer becomes unavailable, this might be helpful.

There is a process by which you can email support@hex.pm and CC the package’s maintainers to request that they transfer ownership to you, and if they don’t respond within a given timeframe, then you can be added as a maintainer. (I might be off on a couple of the details, but it’s something like that.)

This feature does not appear to be documented anywhere, as far as I can tell.

Kudos to everyone that worked on this for the past months (years?)! Happy to see it land!

Unfortunately the PR mentioned earlier doesn’t have a description, but I recall there’s been an open discussion for some years: New HexDocs home page · Issue #49 · hexpm/hexdocs · GitHub

It started with a revamp on ex_doc and HexDocs, and if I’m not mistaken the Hex.pm updates are a direct result of that work.

Indeed! I filed Proposal: generic icon on link to source-code, same as HexDocs · Issue #1475 · hexpm/hexpm · GitHub.
