[meta] Site (+ Logo?) Redesign

[lewisakura]

Hi all.

Looking to redo the site. It was very rushed after all in its initial development and is no longer a very good place for actually reading up on the flags. I'll probably redo it using Astro so it's SSGed and no JS is actually required to run it. Logo is more of an optional thing and it's far from my priority, so I probably won't worry about it for the design.

For a redesign, the .json files will stay where they are (/flags/<...>.json) so any integrations that use these files (which I'm aware of a couple) will work fine even after the redesign, although the files will probably be minified in the future. Another thing I want to do is add a new "public" field to flags to document if the flag is exposed to other users (think flags vs public_flags). @Lulalaby has a good table for this already so that's a good starting point.

I'm mainly just here to ask about what people would want from a redesign - how the content should be presented is the biggest issue for me since I am not too sure on the best way of presenting our data. Another thing is, during this redesign, I want to branch out to add the rest of the flag types that aren't documented at present (like #27), so I'd need to know the best way of designing around this (separate pages? one page with a table of contents?).

Hopefully we can get a much more pleasing site out soon, and also drop that tagline that has been sticking around for 3 years. Eugh.

• A dark mode
• More flags (sku and so on, I can pr most of them if wanted)
• A smoother responsive layout

A dark mode

Priority! I do dark mode designs first usually, and then light ones after.

More flags (sku and so on, I can pr most of them if wanted)

Sounds good, and we can PR them in after the redesign.

A smoother responsive layout

Yeah, this is definitely required. The current site is a bit... uhm... not. Thanks past me.
