Description
The assets are now being hosted on https://brand.nixos.org/ and an index.html file was added to each directory for easy navigation (https://github.com/NixOS/branding/pull/24). While this is sufficient, it is worth investigating making the site look a little nicer.
@numinit mentioned gallery_shell. Their script looks tailored for rastered images but it might be worth investigating if some of the logic could be lifted and tailored for our use case (i.e. vector files and potentially PDF files). They also mentioned that darktables might be able to output HTML galleries. Worth taking a look.

Start by reviewing the current index.html files on brand.nixos.org and the changes in branding/pull/24. Then inspect gallery_shell's gallery.sh for ideas applicable to vector and PDF assets, and investigate the mentioned darktable HTML-gallery option. Done means proposing or implementing a noticeably nicer asset site with the relevant formats supported.
