Add static site to view the data

Open egeakman opened this issue 1 month ago • 2 comments

Hey!

This adds a static website to be hosted on GH pages. Some of the features:

  • iCal file served as conferences.ics, so folks can subscribe to the URL and get updates, every time a new commit is pushed to main
  • filtering, search, and sort options
  • option to add single event to different calendars
  • option to export multiple events as iCal
  • looks nice 🙂
  • can work locally with just Python: python generate_conferences.py && python -m http.server
  • also serves conferences.json, so can be used as a direct data source too

Also, one thing that could be done is to have a calendar view, which would be great if someone has the time to implement it!

Closes #89

We should also add a notice at the top of the page (to encourage subscribing to this calendar), once the GH pages URL is certain.

Could we use something like hugo static site generator instead of a custom html generator? I just prefer to maintain the content and not the tooling.
