Mailchimp for example, has far better documentation and support it seems. Need to leverage Netlify functions in order to have a back-end to handle the sign up.

Build times are way too long and the quick and dirty solution for pulling down Dato data, and linking models is probably the source.

One possible optimization taken from Dato's own code is using their ItemsRepo - see this thread and this example. It looks like this code performs the linking of models for us without us having to handle it recursively as we are doing now here.

Investigate how much code we can get rid of in our routes-utls by leveraging React's makePageRoutes.

• Author bios can appear right under name
• Apostrophes and Quotation marks (possibly others) appearing as HTML Entities in Headlines
• Pagination Buttons - Category / Author pages need a button leading user to other pages

For cases where none are provided yet grab:

• Excerpt as Meta Description
• Title as Meta Title
• SEO Image || Featured Image || Post Image || Thumbnail in that order (or another order - ask client)

• Add row of 3 articles re: how Jacob texted you

Non-Static Routing with react-static might be a good solve for this.

• Creating dynamic routes that grab the post slug from the URL as a :splat and pull the latest data from DatoCMS to render the page client side.
• Bypass the static build entirely to speed things up.

Initially, the build process returned relative URLs whenever fetching data for media content. The build process has since then changed and now returns the absolute URL. As a result, we should assume that we're always given the absolute URL in the context of the Image component.

• Tweak social icon padding to bring it closer to the article content so header image appears centered
• Twitter share button should generate the headline as well as the link - add “via @jewishcurrents”
• Make block quotes just indented - removing accent style, making classic block quotes
• Add class to allow for HTML solution for pull quotes - .pullquote

• Ability to format captions
• Captions should be left-aligned

Right now the site has a hacky implementation for subscribing new users to the newsletter. We use Constant Contact's free tier and have to destroy and rebuild the form during route changes in React Static which causes warnings / possible errors in the console.

It's probably best if we simply do some basic email validations on the client and submit the user provided email to a lambda function that registers that email (after final validation) to the proper Constant Contact list.

Obtain login from client for Constant Contact for this issue.

Verify why this is occurring as posts should be an empty array if the Category has no posts associated to it.

Think it's because of using the spread operator ... on an empty array.

More or less the "scheduling" feature asked for by client
