Link to Ellies catalog in the package.elm-lang.org sidebar

[Janiczek]

Hello! This is most likely a question for @evancz or @terezka as people working on the package.elm-lang.org and other Elm websites.

I’ve recently had this exchange on the Elm Slack when helping out with some JSON decoders.

And so the question is: Would it make sense to you to add a link to the Ellies catalog to that sidebar? Or would there be a better place for it?

(I reckon the sidebar in the Ellie app itself might also be one, potentially a better one.)

The catalog in question is https://janiczek-ellies.builtwithdark.com, advertised on this Discourse eg. in the post Ellie catalog and bookmarklet. Lets you submit and search for Ellie links - frequently, solutions to often-asked questions.

Hi Martin!

I didn’t know about the catalog either- that’s really cool! I’m actually have a similar feature upcoming for the elm-lang.org editor, so you will be able to save your own code, see other peoples work etc. For that reason, I think it may make more sense to link to the catalog from Ellie itself as you suggested, too. I do however see how it’d be helpful to have more examples for the JSON decoder/encoder readily available, so I think I’ll add some examples on the site/docs. Thanks for bringing this up! (+ thanks for answering questions on the elm slack! )
