Rename Example page to Styleguide #180

Open adborden opened 7 years ago

I think the purpose of the Example page it to provide a gallery of the available patterns and UI components along with their HTML markup. In that case, I think "Styleguide" is a more standard term in the industry.

I thought it was just for development when we didn't have a backend?

Hmmm, I guess. I was just building out pages and stubbing data at the API layer when the backend wasn't ready. Either way, I think it's useful to have a styleguide page or a pattern library page. I've seen these in other projects and I think they provide a lot of value. They can help us catch visual regressions without spending a ton of time investing in tooling. They also help to consolidate patterns because it's like you have a menu of UI components to search through.

So I'm interested in investing in this page. What do you think?

Turning this into a styleguide would be cool. Maybe that was the original intent here.
