Add About page

[xypnox]

Add an about page to the site to list:

• About LTTKGP
• Features
• FAQs
• GitHub Org and Slack Workspace links
• Change-log/Link to a changelog elsewhere

The About page can be added as an info icon above the theme switcher.

The design of the about page should be attractive as it will be the primary source for users to know about LTTKGP.

Hey I would like to work on this issue .Can you assign me @xypnox

Sure, First create a PR with a basic structure of the page. A simple heading and paragraph would suffice.

Also, we will decide the linking later so for now just keep it at /about.

Hey @xypnox, I was working on the about page but couldn't understand the point regarding Change-log/Link to a changelog elsewhere. Any kind of help in understanding this would be appreciated, thank you.

So usually most applications have a changelog, a place where we explain what new things were added in each version of the app. For example of a changelog you can check out: Firefox Releases, Alacitty terminal releases etc.

Since LTTKGP is made up of a different parts, with various microservices and an uncoupled frontend, we would not want to maintain different project's changelogs separately in their release pages. Keeping them in one easy to digest place would be ideal and it is nice in about page as that changelog can be used to tell people about any new features we add, such as YouTube music support.

Therefore we need a sort of list that highlights the features added, bugs fixed etc.

One way is to have a local markdown file making it trivial for anyone to modify the changelog. We can have lists, images and links in markdown and complex components would not be necessary in the frontend, just a markdown renderer would suffice.

@xypnox Thank you very much for the detailed explanation. I have a good understanding of what to do now. I will create a PR in a few days and then we can discuss the content for the other points mentioned in the issue.

@sahil-shubham While you are at it also update the deployment URL in the README, currently it links to beta.lttkgp.com, we need it to be lttkgp.com
