The demo is up on my website[1]. We have tons of apps run by Fedora Infrastructure and a long-time complaint is that they have inconsistent theming, and no chrome that ties them together -- that makes them look like they're all part of the same thing. Theming them consistently or adding a unifying chrome would be awesome, but a very challenging and time-consuming task. This little prototype is an attempt at making a single line of javascript that we could include in each app to add a floating button that pulls up a menu taking you to other Fedora apps. It could potentially display other information like "how to join!" and "don't forget to book your tickets for Flock!" and.. etc. It falls short of a unifying chrome, but I tried to make it simple enough that it won't collide with the layouts and style of other pages.. something we could actually deploy without exhausting ourselves. It's a very rough early prototype, but how do people like the general approach? Is anyone on this list interested in taking it and running with it? The source is on github[2] A cool thing about it technologically is that it pulls its data for the menu from the same source[3] as the apps.fp.o landing page[4]. So, as we update that site, the menu will get auto-updated everywhere. We can do other neat stuff like 'indicate the status of each app -- is it working correctly at the moment or has the infra team marked it as "down for maintenance"'.
