Redesign the front page

[therungg]

The frontend should be fun to visit many times.

Right now, the front page is very minimal, as it was the first thing I ever built. I'd like to make it a bit more robust, and containing more info. I'm thinking about things like:

• Highlighting an interesting live run or uploaded run.
• Some news section
• Currently running tournament section
• Currently running races
• Links to your stats, livesplit key, recently visited/interesting pages etc.
• Twitter feed

And there's probably a ton of other ideas to go with. Any help, ideas, designs etc. are welcome!

Needed endpoints:

• Random interesting Live Run (summary, not much data) /api/live/random no wrapper yet in frontend
• Top n interesting Live Runs /api/live?limit=5 no wrapper yet in frontend
• Top games src/components/game/get-tabulated-game-stats getTabulatedGameStatsPopular()
• Recently played games TODO
• Upcoming/in progress races src/lib/races getAllActiveRaces()
• Upcoming/in progress tournaments TODO
• Most recent run stats by logged in user TODO
• Live run of current user src/lib/live-runs getLiveRunForUser()
• Most recent pbs globally src/lib/get-personal-best-runs getPersonalBestRuns()
• Remarkable recent runs (pb's with high attempt count. Sort of highlight) TODO
• Global leaderboards TODO
• Random patron spotlight from src/components/patreon/use-patreons
• All patrons src/components/patreon/use-patreons

This is a very large and site-changing change, so I'd like to make designs and plans for this first
