Alternative Snippet Page Layout

Check out what these guys are doing: http://laravel-recipes.com/

We should redesign a bit the front-end.
Make it a bit cleaner and more readable.

We have to introduce categories.

I'll do some mockups tomorrow. And we'll decide together the best option.

Unfortunately my front-end skills aren't that good. You guys have more experience than me :)

Today I can't. Gotta go at some job interviews.

I've been meaning to provide source code for you guys to build a better editor/layout into Laravel Snippets site. I've disclosed to John that in my opinion the way it is done at http://cheatsheetr.com is a very good one. If I sent the source of cheatsheetr.com to any of you guys, would you be able to take the editor and implement it into Laravel Snippets? I wish i had the time to do it myself but I know you guys are redesigning the site so my changes wouldn't be taken into account.

Please let me know how I can provide the necessary code for you guys to build the best and awesomest editor for the snippets.

Also I've built a pretty cool blogging UI and open sourced a prototype for it. The demo is at http://codepad-blog.gopagoda.com/
And the source for that one is at https://github.com/msurguy/codepad

Let me know which one of these two ways you'd want to implement :)

Hey @msurguy,

That's exactly how I suggested it in another issue, the ability like with gists to have separate blocks of code for different files/pieces rather than user's writing comments like ### file.php ### file2.php in the single code block that we currently have.

If you want to send over the code, I'll take a look at how complex it is and see if I have the time to do it. Myself and Matt are heading up the redesign though and I've also taken the github signup/login issue so not sure if I have the time to commit to more right now but will happily take a look.

And thanks for helping out! =)

Heck, you can even reuse the Github login from cheatsheetr.com source as well. The code isn't super testable (I created cheatsheetr at hackathon in under 12 hours) but it's enough to get things working. I'll send it over the email in a few minutes. Hang on.
