Showcase section

[mitchellh]

In a similar vein as our #showcase Discord channel, it'd be great to have a showcase section of the website.

It doesn't need to be interactive, we can curate interesting showcase uploads in Discord and share them there.

But it'd be nice if this had a unique design and set of components to show the image, note the author, show the Ghostty config, filter by platform, etc.

It could live initially in the docs section so we don't clutter the top nav.

I've got some ideas for this, essentially a grid like gallery with an image, title/author, button & a tag component. The button will open a modal with a larger image (possible gallery(?)) with a short description & author, a tab for the code config.

Mini sketch below from Exaclidraw, Obviously will be more refined as per the Ghostty design 😅

I've also created a starter PR for the "card" component in #129 by re-using the download card.

@DeadEnglish I'm assigning this one to you (just so nobody else accidentally steps on your toes here). You're good to run with this!

But for this you would also have to create a login page? so you can take user details. Or else anyone can anonymously post. Also a create showcase post page?

A note on the config sketch: theming can bring in references to themes outside those ghostty ships with in separate files in /themes. A showcase author can mostly 'flatten' their custom theme back into a single config file. If they choose to do light/dark theme support via theme=light:<pathtofile>,dark:<pathtofile> they probably? have trouble collapsing back to a single file. Likely light/dark theming isn't a near term concern, only a note.

I'm back at work now so progress on this ticket should somewhat move 😅

@ronit18 I think for now this will be a static curated list of content pulled from the #showcase channel in the discord server.

@anund I think that would potentially be a proper edge case which I probably wouldn't support in the initial iteration. If we think this is a big enough problem, we might want to reconsider the design in the future 🙏
