Migrate website to Gatsby

[alexdor]

Migrating this project to Gatsby will decrease the time-to-interactive for the users and improve site's seo

Looks amazing to me. Will start working on this soon

[siddhant1]

Should we do it in typescript only?

[alexdor]

@siddhant1 I'm not sure what do you mean with the question about typescript.

[ashu8912]

By doing it in typescript he means that instead of writing codes in js way for gatsby we will be doing it in ts files and the "ts way"

earlier =>"React with Ts"
enhancement =>"gatsby with TS"

[ashu8912]

I also want to work upon this one coz i am into gatsby these days so it would be kind of a benefit for me

[alexdor]

Yeah ideally it would be in typescript so we can leverage the existing code (and the benefits of ts). There is a gatsby plugin for ts here https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/tree/master/packages/gatsby-plugin-typescript

[siddhant1]

Cool , let's start with moving the routes !

[ashu8912]

How do we start the gatsby transformation... doing it on this repo will break the already present code
and as this repo uses netlifies continuous deployment feature
The broken website will lead to problems to the already user of the website
--------Things we can do ---------
1.we can stop the continuous deployment feature for a specific amout of time till our gatsby transformation is done
2.Or creating a new Repo and doing everything there and at the end making live the new Enhanced Website

If there is any other option plzz tell

[alexdor]

I think that the best way is to start a branch here and collaborate on that branch, so we can have the previews that netlify produces and have a single point of tracking progress. What do you think?

[ashu8912]

yeah thats the best thing we can do

[siddhant1]

I will make my first pr on this today or maybe tomorrow , I think we can build over that

[alexdor]

@siddhant1 and @ashu8912 you should both have access to write to this repo, so create a branch here.

Note: The master branch is locked so in order to get smth into the master branch we need to make a pr

[ashu8912]

will soon create branch "fixme-enhancement-gatsby" or should i name it something else???
also will update docs to tell how to contribute to this branch.........
