VOTE: New Updated Site Designs

ryanlelek commented 9 months ago

Current: The Raneto design language is starting to look dated and could use some cleanup after many merged PRs (thank you!) We have "theme packages" now (linked here)

Proposal:

Rebuild the default theme with frameworks, no custom CSS. (Bootstrap, Material UI, Tailwind, etc.)
Vanilla version for each framework can be forked as a starting point for edits/remixes by users to customize
We create and customize a spiritual successor to the existing theme using one of the vanilla examples

Open to suggestions on approach, front-end frameworks to use, and whatever else you'd like to mention

ETA: Fall 2024

I'd put a vote in for Tailwind as I use it a fair bit already and find it pretty straight forward. The ability to theme, and possibly a slightly altered menu where certain folders are considered "sub menus" using the meta data would be pretty sweet and make Renato perfect.

It's looking like Bootstrap v5.x because:

That's the current framework used from way back in v2.x or v3.x
I'm familiar with it and can quickly get it done

Happy to include tailwind if someone can use the Bootstrap example as a starting point. I can also look into adding it when other issues are resolved and there's time to learn it.
