The current templates have lots of redundancy, breaking things into smaller units will help with consistency across pages and maintainability

This has now changed slightly, I've been investigating the tera templating engine as a suitable replacement for handlebars

Motivation for tera, as discussed on discord:

  • hot reloading so that modifying templates isn't as painful
  • inheritance in templates
  • more processing done in templates instead of code so we can use more derive(Serialize)
  • better docs

All of that culminates into what at the end of the day is better, more modifiable and more maintainable code, which is a bonus on every front

I'd also be in favor of moving to tera.
