Hi - I've attached the screnshot below

[rvagg]

That's much nicer than the current simple list, good work!

A couple of suggestions from me (I'm not on the website team so will defer to them, perhaps they don't agree):

• let's remove the <ul> completely, the dots seem pointless now
• Include the date in the link or switch them so the date comes second, there's something that feels odd about the dates leading

[iancrowther]

+1 to remove bullets, the heading styling is enough to imply a new article.

{{title}} - {{date}} makes sense to me as the title is the primary information.

[fhemberger]

Looks really sweet!

For semantics, we should stick to <ul> (because it's a list of items), but we can remove the bullet.

We should also find a way to break the blog index list down into one page per year. Otherwise the list will be way too long. I don't have much time right now, so if anybody has a good idea how to handle this …

Love it.

Does this always guarantee to split on whitespace for where it ends the summary?

Also could we add an ellipsis character to the end of the summary, before the link? (…)

@elinnet I'd love to merge your PR. Can you please have a quick look at the merge conflicts?

[phillipj]

I'm inclined to resolving the merge conflict manually, as this looks so much better than what we've got on nodejs.org atm 😄

[fhemberger]

@phillipj Knock yourself out. 😄
