feat: create a sitemap.xml

[BekahHW]

• https://virtualcoffee.io/sitemap.xml should be a thing, but it's not

I'd like to take a shot at this issue.

Here's the Next.js docs about sitemaps:

https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/sitemap

I'd prefer though not to hand-write a sitemap, since it will easily get out of date as we update / add pages. This package looks promising: https://github.com/iamvishnusankar/next-sitemap

Or we could use our existing data functions and generate a sitemap via sitemap.ts

hey! can i work on this?

[danieltott]

@manya706 its all you!

Hi! while working on this, next-sitemap module can only be installed on stable versions of react and next.js , so i had to change version of the same. If you want I can move forward with a different approach too.

specific error faced-
\virtualcoffee.io> npm install next-sitemap
npm ERR! code EOVERRIDE
npm ERR! Override for react@canary conflicts with direct dependency

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! C:\Users\manya\AppData\Local\npm-cache_logs\2024-10-05T17_56_19_413Z-debug-0.log

@manya706 we definitely need the versions we have for react and next. Might be able to use the overrides key in package.json to tell npm to ignore that requirement though 👍

[danieltott]

@manya706 also please use pnpm to install/manage dependencies
