Blog #844

Marketing team wants a blog. If you can put the technical pieces together and put up a sample post I can style it.

Created a (for now private) repo based on a sveltekit static blog starter: github.com/drips-network/blog

Invited you for write access.

Using SvelteKit bc we can re-use our existing theming and components. It'll be a fully static blog, meaning we could host it easily even on GitHub pages. All you need to do to push a new blog post is adding a markdown file to /lib/posts, and you can even embed custom Svelte components inside the posts.

The default template looks a bit rough, but it's of course fully customizable, and it looks like this starter is built in a pretty neat way, so it could be great starting point!

Is there any way we can use the styles from the website?

efstajas commented 9 months ago

Ya. I can set up the basic theming so we can make use of that, then we should be able to just copy-paste styles or even entire components to the blog.

efstajas commented 9 months ago

I've pushed the basic radicle-design-system styles, so we can use vars like color-primary etc. and typography classes just like in the drips app. Layout is super broken now obviously, but now it's basically just about styling the components. You can go for it if you want, or maybe let's start with a basic design in figma?

For backend maybe we could use Decap CMS (formerly Netlify CMS)

I have no opinion on this but let's sort it out before I start styling it?

Tbh I don't think we need a backend, what's wrong with static generation?
