Feature Description
Introduce dedicated author pages, similar to WordPress, with a configuration option to enable or disable them. Additionally, improve the current handling of author links and images, which are currently hardcoded in each post.
Instead, centralize author details (e.g., name, link, and image) in a single configuration (yaml or some json). Posts can reference the author by their unique ID, making updates (e.g., author profile picture changes) seamless across the website.
Problem
- Author links and images are hardcoded in each post, which is inefficient and unscalable for production use.
- Lack of centralized management for author information makes updates cumbersome and error-prone.
Solution
- Implement a centralized configuration (yaml or some json thing) for managing author information (e.g., name, image, and link).
- Allow posts to reference author details by a unique ID instead of hardcoding.
- Add an optional feature for author-specific pages, controlled by a configuration toggle.
Additional context
Docusaurus has a similar implementation for handling authors and author pages. Reviewing their approach can provide valuable insights.
