Social icons

David Vorick requested to merge social-icons into gh-pages

I changed the words on the index page a bit, hopefully to make it friendlier + more exciting. I removed some of the blathering, which is what the 'about' page is for.

I changed the wording for our UI/UX position.

I added a 'Wallet Engineer' position, because we could use someone to take that over for us - there's more to get done than we are able to do ourselves.

I removed external dependencies from our website. We were fetching jquery and a google font using remote calls. Now they are on-site, which should improve loading times.

I added icons. Unfortunately, they add about 650kb in weight to the website. There are ways to reduce the weight to only what you need, but the tool I was using to do that was insufficient. I'll have to try again. I think we can get it down to 50kb.

The other things I notice about speed:

90kb for bootstrap. Our UI uses pure, which is like 30kb, and I feel comfortable that at some point I could switch over from bootstrap to pure. We don't even really use bootstrap. 90kb for jquery, which is lame b/c we only use it for the screenshots. Surely there's a ligher-weight way to accomplish that. We don't load the page content until all the CS is loaded. This might not be great, but it's all on-site now so it should be better at least.

This is good enough for now though.
