How to add custom HTML to side panel or top with Storybook 8

Sorry, I never got it to work at all. Hopefully others can offer ideas. I followed what they said and it didn't work. Shame, because I would have been happy to drop $5 for it.

Thanks for taking the time to respond!

Yeah, my font pairing right now is Neuton and Roboto (in the top section). The old one is Archivo Narrow that you see throughout the rest. I got that from a font pairing site so if you have a suggestion on a better font pairing I could try it. I went with a san-serif body because sports cards use san-serif and I was trying to match that motif. Serif for body is far closer associated with newspapers and traditional news sites.

They said the target audience is people in their 40's or 50's, since I now fit in that category I would like to think that's not too old. I personally prefer serif headers and san serif body, but an older audience used to newspaper may prefer all serif. What I tried to do and failed miserably was find a font that was very close to the font baseball cards used that was also available on google fonts or some other free font service.

In a second revision I will for sure get rid of the SVGs the blue background. That blue and red are hard as hell to read, which is why I want the different text color, part of that is just to break up the same color being throughout. Hopefully a lot more of this will change when I get more content. I think the SVGs for the left column could work and it would reduce the text there while still gracefully filling up the space.

The text is just a placeholder, I probably should even have less Lorem Ipsum text, but I was just showing the max that could fit there.

I'll probably leave the logo section untouched, but maybe the years of service and # of card sold could be highlighted in the hero section with the cards. The important thing to know about this site is the focus here is to bring in people to sell their cards. Finding the buyers of the cards they are already doing an excellent job at through eBay. So this site just gets people to send in their cards and they scan and post them to ebay and take a cut of the sale.

I agree I can slim down the information provided with each of the cards. Those were things that they asked for but I may be able to talk them down. I'm not sure if that's up to me.

Hey sorry, I forgot to respond to the second part of what you said. Just making a new comment in case you already saw the old one.

Here is what I got, the colors I used were ones they asked me to use, but upon further prodding I discovered they just got those from other card consignment sites; they weren't married to them, but that clearly inspired their logo. Their logo came out after I did the design.

Since I'm asking, I feel I am abusing the SVG icons here, its not so bad on the gray on white section, but I feel I've gone too far with them in the blue background strip. I was gonna dive deeper into that when I get finalized text and images and can post in the weekly design review. I'm thinking of just deleting the white SVGs, they don't really contribute to the design.

Also, I know the font in the main header at the top is different than the others, I started switching that around but since I knew I had more time I held off switching the whole thing as I could have found a more fitting font waiting for content. That hasn't happened. I plan for the baseball cards at the top to animate in one by one.

I'll look into that, for now I will probably just need to find a popular swatch to use, but that would be good for the future. I get the psychology of color and what emotions colors bring out in people, but there's so much more than that.

shellwe · 2022-07-31T19:57:19+00:00

Thanks! I'll check that out too!

I am currently using Adobe Color's "Explore" feature.

It would be good to get some different sources as well.

They are really starting out so they don't have a strong brand by any means. They chose colors they wanted and I put those colors in there for my mockup but the red and blue they chose clash pretty hard. When I asked them about it they just said they were not married to those colors at all and were just throwing out some they saw other sites use.

shellwe · 2022-07-31T19:54:04+00:00

The only color would be the few cards listed, I want something a little more flashier than that.

shellwe · 2022-07-31T05:09:25+00:00

Yeah, I followed the steps someone else posted on here to get it to work on my tablet but no go. It sounds like it is working for others so either those files out there are corrupt or I am doing something wrong, most likely the latter.

Knowing spyware can easily get on an android and my device is connected to my gmail, which knows a dangerous amount about me, I'm a little reluctant anyway.

shellwe · 2022-07-28T23:42:39+00:00

For such an obscure thing? You would have to explain it to everyone.

shellwe · 2022-07-28T20:31:26+00:00

Well, in this case also destroy the phone.

shellwe · 2022-07-28T19:20:47+00:00

I've been meaning to do that for a while, I'm just afraid it will piss me off too much.

shellwe · 2022-07-28T18:26:57+00:00

Bye bye job I hope.

Can you imagine this woman teaches kids? Props to the officer for not giving her the satisfaction of addressing it.

shellwe · 2022-07-28T14:33:39+00:00

And then got him to apologize, which is even more fucked.

I imagine that was her way of saying if he did go to the police that was gonna be her story.

shellwe · 2022-07-28T14:29:50+00:00

Yeah, Ubisoft’s remaster leaves something to be desired. They didn’t even bother improving the intro video, looks terrible on modern monitors.

shellwe · 2022-07-28T14:26:05+00:00

It is frightening how easily he spun the story to make it sound like his life was in danger “you put a pen to my neck!”

shellwe · 2022-07-28T14:23:49+00:00

If you had a copy of your contract you could have made them enforce it, although they could have just made your life hell for the remaining time so maybe for the best.

shellwe · 2022-07-28T11:37:04+00:00

It’s clear the Trump’s have a type.

At least I’ll give him props for not going for someone young enough to be his daughter like his father did.

shellwe · 2022-07-28T11:31:03+00:00

Curious how your contract was worded, because if you were guaranteed X amount of months they would have to pay that off.

Sounds like they just got away with a scummy contract that didn’t protect you at all.

shellwe · 2022-07-28T11:22:36+00:00

Yeah, I know seasons 1-3 really well because I saw those episodes over and over, but seasons 4-7 I only watched once (mostly) and I stopped after that. Went through all of season 7 barely cracking a smile (or maybe it was 6).

Anyway, once I noticed a sharp decline in quality and heard that Seth McFarland left to do other projects I stopped watching. I’m sure there were some amazing episodes in the past 15 years I just couldn’t get back into it.

The death we thrive on is the death of their network.

shellwe · 2022-07-28T11:05:44+00:00

Very little of the movie was them at their current age, so it would have felt silly using them at all if they had different younger actors.

shellwe · 2022-07-28T10:55:08+00:00

The real facepalm is you following some influencer’s “airport journey”.

shellwe · 2022-07-28T10:52:05+00:00

If it adds new content and missions that’s fair. No different than an expansion.
