About page #427
Description
Describe the problem
Currently, there is no page provided by default on any Mercury Core-based platform explaining what the platform is or does. Users are expected to have some level of familiarity with revival platforms, or are expected to find the documentation, which provides lots of relevant information. However, it would be better to have this information displayed on a dedicated /about page, especially for new users.
Describe the proposed solution
Previously, Mercury 2 featured an about page, showing off some site and client features alongside images and some flashy design. It may be possible to simply bring this back, though there is a lot on the page that was specific to Mercury 2 and might not work for other Mercury Core-based platforms.
I think it could be an improvement to specify the contents of the about page as part of the mercury.core.ts file to allow for much easier customisation, similarly to how this is done with the Branding.Descriptions option, which is displayed as a set of bullet points on the login page. Another option may be specifying the content via a path to a Markdown file in the Assets folder, as this would also reduce the need for any users attempting to customise the site to touch any Svelte files.
