Have an Author profile page based off of the author config, which includes the posts they've authored #68

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Nothing big, but I'll be creating author profile pages for each defined author within the doc site itself, and having a the author link point to that. But this feels like it'd be nice to have out of the box!

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be great to have these pages be auto-generated and as an option for where an author link goes to.

That way you can have a 'profile' built into the doc site itself, and being able to provide more details within the author schema so you can add as many external links as you'd like.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Haven't done anything yet, as I've just started getting things up and running today to use this for an internal docsite.

Additional Context

Thank you for creating so many useful plugins and integrations for Starlight!

Thanks for the feedback :raised_hands:

Author profile pages is not something that was on my radar so far. My very personal thought is that this may be a bit too much for a "small blog alongside a documentation" which is what the plugin is in the end. I think this could also be quite conflicting with the current way author links are handled as an author name would need to be a link to the author profile page. Accommodating this would require some options I assume for users to decide if they want to link to the author profile page or to the provided link for an author.

Of course, I will keep monitoring and would be happy to re-evaluate this if I get more feedback on this feature request.

Sounds good 👍

It would definitely add some more config options, but figured I'd bring it up since I'll probably implement this in some fashion myself and was seeing if you had any plans. No worries :-)

Small update to mention that author pages are now available since the version 0.13.0 of the plugin, e.g. this one.
