create a better looking default template

[jonknapp]

The default template that is added to new Slipcast projects includes the files from the template/ folder. Its purpose should be to show off the features of the application, but the resulting website should also look much better than the current bare html tags rendered today.

To create a new project to see what the current template looks like in action, you can run the following:

npm install slipcast-cli -g
slipcast-cli [folder-name-for-project]
cd folder-name-for-project
npm start
# then open a browser to the url that is output in your terminal (probably localhost:3000)

I can take a look at this.

Thanks for picking up this task @tsriram. Would you be available for a Google Hangout sometime to talk through the details for this task?

[tsriram]

@jonknapp sorry, got busy with work and didn't get time to respond. Yeah, sure. How long would you need? We can set up a time which is convenient for both of us. My timezone - UTC +5:30

[jonknapp]

Not a problem at all. Hard to argue with free word done in your off-time :) I don't think we'd need to talk more than 20 minutes.

I am UTC -4:00, so if I talked around 9:30pm EST that should be around your lunch time if I'm doing math correctly. Would a call around noon work for you?

If you'd rather talk earlier in your morning, I can do that as well.

Thanks again for reaching out about this feature as well @tsriram!

@jonknapp turns out your math isn't right? 😛 http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/?pl=1&lid=5,30,1269843&h=5&date=10/10/2016%7C2

Have sent you a calendar invite with your early morning time...let's work out a convenient time from there. Feel free to suggest the time that works best for you.

[jonknapp]

:) thanks for the link and invite @tsriram

At that time, I can meet any day this week or next. If you want to do it an hour or two later, I can make it as long as I don't have a meeting planned.

[tsriram]

@jonknapp same time today works for you? Or tomorrow? Have updated the invite. Other we'll have to wait till the week starting Oct 24th. I'm on vacation next week :)

[jonknapp]

I'm ready to chat now if you're available. @tsriram. I just woke up and am a bit disoriented, but no better time than the present! I'm on the hangout created by your calendar event.
