Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The website revive.run was introduced 7 years ago in #74 and has not been actively maintained since. It is built with Gatsby (JS), and over time, has become difficult to maintain. In particular, "Wrong URL to a rule description" is reported by users almost every month. The issue is not trivial to fix within the current stack and our knowledge. Describe the solution you'd like I propose migrating the website to Hugo. Hugo is Go-based, simple to maintain, and well-suited for static documentation sites. It has proven effective for Golangci-lint. I discussed this idea with @mgechev, and he agrees that Hugo would be a good fit for our needs. Describe alternatives you've considered We could continue maintaining the existing Gatsby-based website and fix issues (via vibecoding, since I'm not a JS expert).
