Create the new Open Source Explorers Page

There are follow up issues after this one is completed, so hoping to have it done by Thursday the 21st latest. :smile:

Design: See this Figma file.

Code:

See the files in src/app/tech/ for relevant files. The new design departs significantly from the current pages, so you can either empty that file and start from scratch, or create a new file for your work in progress.
- Put page-content-specific components in src/components/tech/ or in another components folder if they're potentially reusable on other pages.

Notes:

Don't worry about the other sections of the page when working on this issue, just the top hero section. I'd like to get this one done first to get the new page setup, and then we'll tackle the other sections in follow-up issues.
Since we're making a new page with a significantly different design than the old one, there shouldn't need to be too much code reuse. Let's prioritize using Radix UI components (check both their Theme and Primitives docs). It's ok to sprinkle in some tailwind in order to go above and beyond what we get out of the box with Radix, but don't feel like you need to be pixel-perfect when following the designs.

Hi, I'm a computer science student interested in contributing to free software projects as a way to learn and develop my skills. I would love to help with this task or any other tasks in the project. Is there any way I can assist?

jtfairbank commented 3 days ago

Hey @matosGu1lherme thanks for your interest! We're primarily looking for contributors with existing webdev experience who have the time to make regular contributions. If you're looking for a way to gain experience doing web development, our Open Source Explorers program is designed to offer that. We plan to run a new cohort at some point in the first half of next year, so please check back in January.

Hey @jtfairbank I am now back and available to work on the project. I'd like to take this issue. Is someone already working on it?

@CatherineKiiru glad to see you back! If it's not assigned to anyone then it's open, so go for it! (be sure to assign it to yourself)
