[Feature request] Rewrite website using next.js #65

Closed JasonBarahan closed 3 months ago

JasonBarahan commented 4 months ago

Rationale

Rewrite the CSSU website using next.js to permit a greater breadth of customizations than what is currently permitted with Hugo. Examples include:

updating the landing page to feature certain events
modify page category/page selection pages to have a different layout instead of the default "square" layout.

This should also reduce the loading time for pages with lots of resources, as documented in #58

How this will be implemented

We can rewrite the website as-is into next.js, including:

navbar
footer
landing pages leaving the MarkDown renderer enabled to handle rendering page content.

I'm thinking the static next.js export would be sufficient - I don't see why we would need a dynamic site (for now).
