[Feature request] Mutiple action buttons on homepage about core HOT 5 CLOSED

A more flexible way:

Encourage users to customize their own home page via custom layout.

This kind of minimal features on default theme is endless...

from core.

When you visit a website, you might immediately realize that it was developed by vuepress because of the homepage.

VitePress considered removing the homepage feature totally in its default theme. I think it's kind of a good idea, but we must consider some tradeoff:

Pros

Homepage of default theme is dull and makes lots of site look similar with each other. Removing default homepage might make those websites more diverse.

Cons

The default homepage is convenient indeed, allowing lots of simple sites to have a homepage that looks good. Removing it will make the default theme less useful.

So maybe we could:

• Still provide the default homepage.
• If the default homepage is not enough, encourage users to use custom homepage, and provide a detailed guide for that.
• If the default theme is not enough, encourage users to use community theme for more features.

As a VuePress maintainer / contributor, what we need to consider is different from a theme author. What do you think about that 🤔

I totally agree with above comment, but not this one.

I was taking attention to all the issues between 20 Mar and 20 Oct, and I think this is a feature metioned by most people.

I do agree that something like sponser support, darkmode and so on don't need to provide with the default theme. But it's really common to have mutiple entries for a doc site. There are a lot of users using vuepress just as a simple doc generater (And that's the original goal when uliuz start this project). So I would more regard this feature has a helpful one, which can imporve the experience for those using vuepress as a simple doc generator.

A lot of site has mutiple buttons in their home page:

• https://v3.vuejs.org/
• https://prettier.io/
• https://zh.nuxtjs.org/

What about a type field for different button style?

actions:
  - link: link1
    text: text1
    type: primary
  - link: link2
    text: text2
    type: secondary
