This is a design request for anyone to redesign our https://ethereum.org/en/dapps . Ideally, take a holistic approach, remove excessive info and freshen up the UI.

It has been a long time since this page has been updated and the ecosystem has evolved since.

- The mobile design is not well optimized currently hindering the mobile UX
- The content is too large in its scope for one page (the focus should be on doing, less learning)
- Must follow design system - https://www.figma.com/community/file/1134414495420383395

We are looking for fresh takes and ideas for this page, this issue is a call for design exploration and ideation in figma

### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Our markdown page template includes "edit" button leading users to github to edit the content. Currently we do not track how many people click on this. We would like to have more information about this component.

See examples where this button is:
https://ethereum.org/en/guides/
https://ethereum.org/en/guides/how-to-create-an-ethereum-account/
https://ethereum.org/en/web3/
https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/

This is how the button looks like:

### Describe the solution you'd like

Implement custom event tracking code:

### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/apis/json-rpc/

Our JSON-RPC page recently added a "playground" link above all the endpoints (<https://ethereum-json-rpc.com/>)...  But, while a user is scrolling through or reading about a specific endpoint, there is no convenient way to jump to this playground to try out the endpoint.

### Describe the solution you'd like

Proposing we add a link to each endpoint that takes user straight to that endpoint in the playground... ie: `eth_accounts`... <https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/apis/json-rpc/#eth_accounts> could have a link such as `[Try this endpoint](https://ethereum-json-rpc.com/?method=eth_accounts)`

### Describe alternatives you've considered

- Build out our own playground (high effort, lower impact given alternative)
- Don't do anything (limits UX by lacking convenient ways to try out an endpoint)

### Additional context

_No response_

# Create story tests for AssetDownload component

## Prerequisite

To get yourself up to speed on how we use storybook on ethereum.org, learn more [here](https://github.com/ethereum/ethereum-org-website/blob/dev/docs/applying-storybook.md)

## What to do
- [ ] Create story file `/src/components/AssetDownload/AssetDownload.stories.tsx`
- [ ] Write story testing render of the AssetDownload component in context of use. 

Note: When testing the AssetDownload, make sure to include stories that test both the ArtistDownloadImage component, and the ArtistDownloadArtist component. You can get context of how this component is used on the [assets page](https://github.com/ethereum/ethereum-org-website/blob/9fe3b2d2af409bee47fba1759541af962ce2274c/src/pages/assets.tsx#L187)

_Re-posting issue from #6327 to bring to surface. Still think this is a good idea and help welcomed_

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**

In our [smart contract docs](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/smart-contracts/) we explain how to write, compile & deploy smart contracts but often developers don't want/need to deploy their own smart contracts, they simply want to interact with existing contracts that are already deployed.

**Describe the solution you'd like**

Create a new "Interacting with smart contracts" documentation page: (within /smart-contracts/)
- Explain the different ways to interact with smart contracts (i.e. CRUD)
  - querying data (which doesn't create a transaction)
  - mutating data, by triggering a tx from an EOA (or from another contract)
- Explain contract ABIs & how they are consumed by other developer tools/libraries to understand the interface of a smart contract & how to interact with the contract
- List different approaches/tools/projects that allow developer to write programs that interact with contracts
  - e.g. https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/apis/javascript/
  - e.g. https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/apis/backend/
- Link to tutorials that demonstrate different approaches?
  - e.g. https://ethereum.org/en/developers/tutorials/calling-a-smart-contract-from-javascript/
- ...anything else? 

**Describe alternatives you've considered**

Considered adding a section on ABIs in the "[Compiling smart contracts](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/smart-contracts/compiling/)" page but this topic seems to warrant a dedicated page. Often people who want to interact with a smart contract won't be the person compiling/deploying the contract.

**Additional context**

This came up in discussions on #6308 & the value of having greater explanation of contract ABI & metadata.

**Want to contribute?**

We love contributions from the Ethereum community! Please comment on an issue if you'd like to give any input or if you're interested in helping out with a PR.
