Tracking an "ng" theme

[webknjaz]

I have a plan to make a new theme based on Furo or its siblings. It'll be responsive, accessible, and support dark mode. It's currently impossible to just inherit Furo, but there are a lot of improvements happening in the Sphinx ecosystem that will have a great impact on our ability to make modern themes.
One of the developments is tracked here python/docs-community#1 (comment).
P.S. This will probably need to happen in a new repo but until then, I'll keep the issue here.
P.P.S. A possible solution we should be able to work with is going to be Lutra. And building should start being centered around sphinx-theme-builder.

Any new theme should have top accessibility features (Yah, I know that's vague at the moment). It should also be a responsive design (aka work reasonably well on iphones as well as laptops so to speak).

Note from the DaWGs meeting. We've requested that the Ansible community add requirements and create a wishlist for a new and overhauled theme in this issue.

Additionally the purpose of the new theme is to address several issues in this repository that affect community projects and tooling. Plus allow support for newer versions of Sphinx to avoid compatibility problems with requirements.

That's what Furo implements. I wonder if we could use it and color differently or smth along the lines.

So the open issues?

Plus allow support for newer versions of Sphinx to avoid compatibility problems with requirements.

The current test matrix includes a variety of Sphinx versions already FWIW.

@webknjaz As I already moved all devtools projects to mkdocs, I will no longer be able to maintain the theme (sadly I still have to create a custom ansible theme based on mkdocs material).

If anyone else needs extra permissions on this repo, ping me or @webknjaz

[webknjaz]

No need to close this issue, it's my personal effort.
@ssbarnea you may need to transfer the owner on PyPI to me of you don't want to be a bus factor, I suppose.

[ssbarnea]

I made you owner too on pypi, @gundalow was already, good to have few backups if needed.

@ssbarnea and TestPyPI?
