Redo support-ddev page to use cards

[bmartinez287]

I was thinking about redoing
https://ddev.com/support-ddev/
and make it look like
https://ddev.com/blog/.

By making those into cards the content at the bottom of the page is more likely to be seen and we could resort to those items by the time of investment required. For example:

Contributions can be made in multiple ways. Resources vary on each contributor's background. As a new or season contributor feel free to choose one or many.

Spread the Word
Sponsor Development
Join the Advisory Group

Help Others
Improve the Docs
File an Issue or PR

thoughts?

The current layout is spatially inefficient for what’s there, so I like the idea of tightening things up a bit as you suggest.

I wouldn’t use the exact same cards, since they represent posts that have detail pages and re-using that visual language would be misleading unless you’re suggesting that each of these things gets its own detail page. But you could do something similar with a grid layout for roughly the same effect without the card treatment. (Or some other card variation that differentiates itself from the blog post links.)

Re-sorting is an idea worth more discussion.

Their current order is by my made-up idea of accessibility. (Assuming most people could file an issue or PR, some may have the ability to contribute financially, a smaller subset knows DDEV well enough to pitch in and help others, etc.) So roughly by level of prerequisite knowledge or commitment. “Spread the Word” makes way more sense at the top as you suggest, even with the current scheme.

I’d expect more people to be willing to file an issue or PR before they’d regularly participate in the advisory group, but this is probably overthinking it especially if we’re able to communicate more with less real estate in the first place.

I think support-ddev looking more like the blog could be fantastic. Right now it's all linear and people like me don't get very far down it.

The main page has some of the same problems, just so very much content that non-scrollers like me don't make it. And so much good stuff there!
