Spike: Submitting forms and deployment

[AlKYala]

This spike will explore the implementation of a user-friendly system for submitting new mathematical notations to our Notation Census project for new notations using Netlify Forms and 11ty.

Tasks:

• [x] Create submission form in 11ty (submit.njk)
• [ ] Implement client-side form validation
• [x] Set up Netlify account and connect GitHub repository
• [x] Configure Netlify build settings
• [x] Create netlify.toml file for form handling and redirects
• [x] Set up form notifications in Netlify dashboard
• [x] Test form submission and notification process
• [ ] Create success page for form submissions

Key Points:

• Utilizes Netlify's free tier for hosting and form handling
• Keeps implementation within 11ty and static site architecture
• Provides foundation for future automation of notation addition

would this be dependent on netlify?

would this be dependent on netlify?

Not quite. For now this is really just a comfortable solution for deployment. My aim is really just to have a comfortable dev/int/prod environment. Netlify redeploys instances for given branches (main, develop) and abstracts the whole process away.

If we decide to take it to ANY other platform, I we have to build a git workflow for deployment.
