Improving and potentially upstreaming the Pythia gallery and blog #8547

Description

@choldgraf

The Project Pythia gallery lives here: https://cookbooks.projectpythia.org/

It was put together by a few folks in the early stages of the grant. It pulls in metadata from .yml files in each of the Pythia repositories, then I believe uses a Python script to create a gallery that is inserted onto the page.

I spoke with Brian who said that improving the visual appeal of the gallery, and making it a bit more functional and less hacky, is a priority for Pythia because it's a high-visibility thing that sets the tone of the project.

Context

Here's a list of the main things that he was hoping to have improved

  • Generally make the visuals look better (e.g. the tag pills are too big and bulky they are all different sizes, etc)
  • There's no way to filter the cards that are there (e.g. with a search, dropdown, etc)
  • Has a hacky metadata setup (repo has a hidden metadata file)
  • There's a description in the repo metadata but it's not used. It’s hard to know what you’re going to get when you click on gallery items.

Implementation

  • I wanna time-box trying to generalize the blog-plugin and the jupyterbook gallery into something that we can re-use, and put it in myst-contrib.
  • If that doesn't work, I'll just improve their thing directly.
  • I'll use my presence at the Pythia hackathon this week to make the time for this
