Migrate to gatsby #322

Open JoshOrndorff opened 4 years ago

JoshOrndorff commented 4 years ago

The recipes has long struggled to have the same look and feel as the rest of devhub. This is due largely to recipes being built on mdbook and the rest of devhub being in docusaurus. This differentiation exists for legacy reasons and this issue is to resolve it.

Concretely, the plan is to migrate the recipes to gatsby which the entire devhub will eventually be built on. Once both are gatsby sites, the integration will be simple.

An exploratory attempt at this migration to gatsby was tried out when substrate.io was hosting the devhub. I continued experimenting with this briefly in June and can resume now that I'm back to work. https://github.com/JoshOrndorff/recipes-front-end

I chose mdbook because it is the same interface as the Rust book, which is nice when someone is learning Rust and Substrate at the same time (like I was). I also liked the fact it was written in Rust and thought that could lead to something creative.

Sounds good, looking forward to seeing the next version 🚀
