Gatsby: Starter showcase - indicate v1 / v2 compatibility

[ductiletoaster]

Summary

After reviewing some of the community starters I found that many of them are specific to gatsby v1. As a result of this I had two questions.

1) Should we not specify in https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/blob/master/docs/docs/gatsby-starters.md that many of the below starts are for version 1 only?

2) Also is there a formal process for submitting version 2 starters?
https://next.gatsbyjs.org/docs/submit-to-starter-showcase/

Let me know how I can contribute if this isn't already planned. Thank you!

I commented somewhere else that I'd propose to use a filter for v1 and v2 on the sidebar and set v2 by default. This way people could upgrade by themselves and the creators have some time to upgrade. After some time the v1 starters would be removed + the filter option.

In [EPIC] v2.0 Starter Showcase, we have planned to use Peril to automate
some of the process of evaluating submissions to the Starter Showcase. I
wonder if we can just verify whether or not a starter is using Gatsby v2.

@fk, do you remember why we took out the v2 / v1 little pills on the index
page? We discussed this and this was the conclusion:
notes from Kyle:
I think just putting a little grey indicator showing v1 or v2 is fine
I agree making it red is heavy handed since v1 isn’t broken per se

Ok final decision on this (thanks @ductiletoaster and @LeKoArts! PS we'll set the filter default to v2 in #7900)

• Index page to include a “Gatsby v1” “Gatsby v2” label
• Detail page to include the same labels (@fk I guess we do need an update to the Figma design to include this)

(design from slack page, not accessible by most people: https://gatsbyjs.slack.com/archives/CB4V648ET/p1530040799000340)

@amberleyromo Is there a way to check v2/v1 compatibility along with dependencies? Gatsby version is in package.json along with other dependencies, which we’re already checking for.

@KyleAMathews is there a reason anyone would need granular version info on the starter detail page (aka v1.98.12 or something)

[ductiletoaster]

Thanks all for the though responses.

coming from #7998 while changing the layout of the showcase items I added a v2 label in the new layout. Adding the label to the bottom row adds a bit too much clutter down there for my liking and both the starter name and description occasionally take up too much space to fit the label. so unless the author has an unreasonably long name this seemed the best place to put it. I'll make a pr if this is ok?

I'm ok with that as long as @fk is!

@fk would you be okay with the suggestions provided by @riencoertjens?

[amberleyromo]

Hi @riencoertjens -- Just a head's up, I merged a change following the original decision to add the version on the bottom line of each starter entry, but wanted to circle back on your proposal.

@fk what do you think of the suggestion? https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/issues/7785#issuecomment-421006755
