Open Source pages

[dennishn]

I'd like to add a new section to the blog where we can showcase a selection of our various open-source packages.

My idea is the concept would be a bit like our stacks - but instead of creating "posts", we add our repositories to a github_[teamname].json file, ie.:

{
    "url": "https://github.com/nodes-frontend/nodes-ui",
    "organization": "nodes-frontend",
    "slug": "nodes-ui",
    "name": "Nodes UI",
    "featured": true,
    "languages": ["sass", "javascript"]
}

Using this meta data, we can pull in various statistics through a hidden, but amazing, nStack API that polls selected repos on github daily for various stats.

This gives us access to stars, releases, readmes etc.

A good example of the direction i'd like to go:
https://stripe.com/open-source

Feedback please 👯

@dennishn Maybe this can help https://www.47deg.com/blog/introducing-org/. Here are some examples of sites built with it https://47deg.github.io/, https://funcool.github.io/. And the tool is open source https://github.com/47deg/org.

This seems to have the advantage that, instead of creating the github_[teamname].json file and maintaining it manually, it fetches them directly from GitHub, so they will always be up to date, and new repos we create will be added automatically on the website
