I am looking to rewrite the existing webpage in a JavaScript framework for a few reasons: - Blazor Server requires a constant websocket connection, which can be prone to dropping. - The original in-game webviews used JavaScript and assorted tricks such as manipulating the window hash (see #494). It will be easier to achieve parity with a JavaScript framework. - I believe the depth of customization and the ecosystem around JS apps will be needed if we want to pursue a custom component library for fully replicating the style of the in-game webviews. Point 1 and point 2 to a degree could be counteracted using Blazor WebAssembly, but the initial load times on this are unacceptably long especially for the in-game webviews. I've chosen Svelte because I wanted to try and learn it and enjoyed what I saw. I think that React would add too much complexity for a website that ultimately does not need to do a lot. This PR contains the homepage, which just sets outs the projects aims, status and has a how-to-play guide. It won't currently deploy anywhere and there is no CI. I am just making a pull request now so that I don't have to make one when the rewrite is 'done' with 1000+ changed files.
