Indicate recurring events on homepage

[BenDMyers]

We have a few things that tend to occur at the same time every week — in particular our listening parties. Since we don't tend to plan much further out than a month out, this can make some dates seem more open than they are.

It might be helpful to have something on the homepage, maybe a banner or an aside or something, close to the upcoming events that shows off our regular weekly schedule.

@BenDMyers for this I was thinking maybe we can have a small logo image of each of the 3 recurring events (Some Antics, Single-Threaded, React Podcast) on the left across from the details button - image attached.

don't know if having a ton of images will drastically slow the rendering of the page but I was thinking we should maybe start thinking about pagination at some point anyway?

let me know what you think

I think that'd be a really neat idea! One way we could conserve bandwidth might be using SVGs in place of image — I'd be happy to volunteer mine up for the cause!

(My original intent for this issue was to have a "regular weekly schedule" block or something that would show off what we usually have going on - even when the individual event itself hasn't been added to the site.

Weekly Schedule:

Tuesdays, 10am PT: Some Antics
Wednesdays, 10am PT: Single-Threaded Listening Party
Thursdays, 10am PT: React Podcast Listening Party

But I'm open to other thoughts, too!

oh ok yeah, I'll keep that in mind & find a place for it especially after adding featured (upcoming next) item

would the SVGs be as easy to spin up as the icons you create out of thin air in the Discord? 😆
