New site for the Local Chapter "OpenStreetMap Austria" with the new Roadster Theme

Hello together,

OpenStreetMap Austria has finally made the move away from WordPress! The new website is now live at openstreetmap.at, built with Hugo and the Roadster theme. Originally, I considered Mainroad, but since its maintainer wasn’t very responsive, I was glad to see that @mansoorbarri stepped up and created a fork. I also contributed some features along the way, and after some time and effort, everything is now ready - the new website is live!

The new site is much faster, easier to navigate, and requires far less maintenance, as it no longer relies on a database and stuff like that. The source code is fully open and available on GitLab, so contributions and improvements are always welcome.

Whats currently still missing is a automated build-pipeline, as of now, the public folder gets uploaded manually.

Everything should now be available in English as well. If you have feedback, please let me know! :blush:

There is a FOUC when someone initially opens the site.

Also don’t forget to test for accessibility issues e.g with Axe or Wave extensions.

Dunno right now what i can do against Flash of unstyled content (FOUC) but i will check with Axe or Wave.

The redundant links might even be intentional, without checking the tools already.

Ignore this. It is a bug in the Dark Reader extension. :smiling_face_with_tear:
