[Idea] GitHub Pages Site

[rtfmkiesel]

Discussions are locked, so I'm writing this here.

It would be cool to have a site on GitHub pages for this repo. This would be easier to navigate than the GitHub repo structure. Also, a "Copy" button besides code blocks could be used to copy a bambda directly without selecting it first. Maybe https://github.com/sighingnow/jekyll-gitbook is an option here.

The main problem here is that bambdas are currently stored as individual Java files. This would not work as static site generators usually want Markdown. The option then would be to store bambdas in an easily parsable format like YAML or JSON. (Where also categories, author and co. could be specified) Before the site gets built using the static site generator, a pre-build script could be used to assemble the markdown pages.

I'd be happy to help here, but I would like your thoughts on this before I start.

@rtfmkiesel, thanks for bringing it up!
I could have asked you to open a new discussion.
However, I'll create a new one for ideas like these.

And yes, we can surely work on the pages. Please feel free to create a new branch by name gh-pages. I a the same idea and am exploring options that are available out there to present them in a best possible way.

I can't add a new branch as I'm not a maintainer. I also can't start a discussion for the same reason. You'll have to accept my pull request.

I'll try to finish the first version of the website this weekend. Here is a preview:

Why did you change the _config file? The build does not work correctly and thus the site is broken. It also does not make sense to have two branches with one just for the pages. All the Bambdas would need to be added to both branches in two different formats. Either merge it to main or leave my contribution out.
