From an engineering perspective this needs a total overhaul as well. Jekyll is fine for what we're currently serving up but if we want to present more usability to the users we will want to consider moving over to a modern SSG or created a full Vue app. I have some notes on both directions I will attach.

@aaronsteers will you close this issue and cross-post the new issue you intend to make for the minimal launch?

[aaronsteers]

@tayloramurphy - If there's a dupe out there, we can delete/dedupe this, but I just went ahead and renamed/rescoped this issue for the 'minimal deployment'.

@alexmarple - We were in TBD/unknown status on the question of whether Netlify could deploy a combo of Gridsome+Jekkyl so our initial deployment would then not have to fully replace everything in order to be viable. @pandemicsyn - do you know?

[aaronsteers]

FYI - Until we have ambiguity resolves (especially the hybrid deployment question) this is a 20 weight and should not be expected on any precise timeline.

That said, I think it still is the highest pri UX/Frontend issue as of now so I've flagged it as high urgency:

@aaronsteers the only "dupe" was the draft issue you'd created previously in the Engineering Assignments board. I'm ok with repurposing this issue.

@aaronsteers what ambiguity do we need to resolve? My previous understanding is that we were going to mainly get a Review App going somewhere so we can have a shared place to review progress. I don't really care if it's a new repo right so we can punt on the hybrid deployment question in the near term.

[alexmarple]

Deploying a Jekyll/Gridsome hybrid is possible but I think it would be better in setting up a minimal deployment/MVP that lives under a subdomain (hub-design.meltano.com or the like) with a banner on the current hub directing people there to test it as a beta. Then we'll just flip it over when it's ready.

I fixing a bug that doesn't allow M1 macs to run gridsome. that should be fixed today and then i can dig back into pushing the MVP live.

@alexmarple I don't think I'm ready to commit to that just yet. I'd like to see it in a review stage before we point folks to it.

Also, friendly reminder to at mention myself or AJ as I only saw these comments b/c I had the window randomly open. cc @aaronsteers
