Create a website for the project

[saadpasta]

@kautukkundan amazing work on the repo🔥. Currently, it's hard to look at the readme.md, we have to navigate through all the folder to look at them we could make a website for that using Gatsby that will help fetch readme's and show on the website. We could also use that to generate a thumbnail for the readme so the user can have a look at the readme beforehand

We could further break down readme in Trending Most Liked and much more.

Hey @saadpasta That's a great idea, building a website is in pipeline since a long time, however I am a little caught up between other things. I'll do that very soon. If you want, you can also try it out and send a PR maybe?

[cristianmarint]

@kautukkundan Are you willing to consider a PR with Gohugo (Static Site Generator)?

[kautukkundan]

yes definitely! Infact I did try experimenting with Hugo. It required contributor to additionally add their links in the "sidebar". Will it be a lot of work for the contributor? Will it make it difficult to contribute? what do you think? If this is possible and/or there's a better way, then please suggest.

@kautukkundan How about using Gatsby? We will just require the users to add the following on top of the .md file

---
title: 'README template name'
date: "2020-03-20T22:40:32.169Z"
description: README template description.
---

Contributors will only have to create a pull request for their readme.md file (with the above details in the same file), the later will be taken care of by the template (you can check my web site's source code)

All the PRs would be adding a folder (with a .md file) to the content/blog folder

[kautukkundan]

Oh that sounds doable. If you're free can you add this and make a PR in a new branch "static-site" or something? Else I'll check it out on sunday.

[98lenvi]

@kautukkundan I will do it tonight.I will not focus heavily on styling, We can collaborate & focus on styling after the PR.

[cristianmarint]

@98lenvi Sounds great! I will also suggest something along the lines of

---
.
.
.
category: (...)
featured: true or false (So popular profiles can be display on mainpage)
github-username(or url): (...)
---

Also is Disqus integration for generate interaction doitable?

[98lenvi]

@cristianmarint Well, I figured out that we have 73 existing README already there (and many more in pending PRs) and updating all that with the comment for title, date & description is going to be difficult, So I skipped it. Disqus is very doable.

All the pages are programmatically created based on the folder & file name.

It'll be good if the website displays the raw markdown format and I'll be willing to submit a PR for it.

[98lenvi]

@VinayVeerappaji, It's a great idea since everyone will be able to just copy-paste the README markdown from the website and use it (without ever having to visit the GitHub repository). I think you can get started with it once my PR gets merged.

[VinayVeerappaji]

Yes, you understood my point @98lenvi. So others can able to use the same by simply modifying it.
