Majella add networks comparison #951

MajellaH · 2020-09-14T11:53:32Z

Fixes Issue #628
New web page with comparisons between Polkadot and Kusama networks

Swader · 2020-09-14T13:09:49Z

@w3fbot prettify please

@MajellaH I would recommend linking to Kusama's resources:

https://guide.kusama.network for the Kusama wiki
https://kusama.network for the landing page
https://kusama.dotapps.io for the Polkadot-JS Apps specific to Kusama

MajellaH · 2020-09-14T14:20:51Z

@Swader Links added

Swader · 2020-09-14T14:43:06Z

If you click on View File, you can preview how your links look if you're only editing online (in Github's UI) rather than locally on your machine. You will notice the links are rendered in order one after the other, and not as a list, one under the other. To get a list, you put an asterisk or a dash in front of every new line, like so:

- one
- two
- three

Also, you should never omit the protocol in links (https://) because you never know how a link is set up server-side, it might not be equipped to auto-redirect from http (default when omitted) to https (desired). Last but not least, you should always test your links (the View File function will help) - you'll notice that the last one, dotapps, does not work. Instead, it redirects to Polkadot's dotapps, not Kusama's. For best results, use the links exactly as I gave them in the comments, i.e. do not change the URLs.

I would recommend here to place the image inside the assets folder. Logan's new img optimizer will be optimizing the images inside that folder.

+## What the two networks have in common
+
+Kusama was released as an early version of the same code to be used in Polkadot, which means they share the same underlying architecture: a multichain, heterogeneously-sharded design based on nominated proof of stake (NPoS).

Kusama was released as an early version of the same code to be used in Polkadot, which means they share the same underlying architecture: a multichain, heterogeneously-sharded design based on Nominated Proof of Stake (NPoS).

just a nitpick =)

Correction to new page comparing Polkadot and Kusama

@w3fbot prettify

Swader · 2020-09-17T13:43:30Z

@MajellaH why did you close this?
@lsaether what's up with the bot, it won't prettify? Is this because of #944?

MajellaH · 2020-09-17T14:01:57Z

Sorry - closed in error.

lsaether · 2020-09-17T17:13:25Z

@Swader No I think it's just glitching on this branch since the check-format CI is not running.

This will cause the page to have two header titles since the title is taken from the metadata above. So it would end up rendering like the below. I would recommend changing the title field in the metadata and deleting the first header.

+# What is the difference between Polkadot and Kusama?
+
+Although they are built on nearly the same codebase, Polkadot and Kusama are independent, standalone networks with different priorities.  


Technically they are built from the same codebase so it may be better to rephrase this as saying they "share many parts of their code".
