Design Website Using a Frontend Framework

[MgenGlder]

Summary

We'll need to design a simple website that shows the general mission of the group, as well as the next upcoming meetups.

Tasks

• Use some base scaffolding to build a neatly designed website.
• Investigate making API calls to grab the dates of the next meetups, and display them neatly on the webpage.

Seems like Meetup has a GraphQL API. Guess we could use a library like Graphene to make API calls. I don't know what kind of front end framework is preferred or whether Django templates is a good enough solution.

Yep, looks like it. Graphene seems like a great Python solution for making Graphql requests in the Django app.

I don't know what kind of front end framework is preferred or whether Django templates is a good enough solution.

@dXu23 I recommend we start with the base front end without a framework so we can get a view going. I'd love to use Vue or React but it would be overkill right now IMO.
