Polish project appearance

[eckertalex]

Based on my other issue #225 wondering if this was a dead project, I think ttag could use a little makeover.

Issues or why did I ask if it was dead

• several old open dependency PRs. One is even 2 years old Bump lodash from 4.17.10 to 4.17.11 in /website #189
• readme still has a banner section about the old name. This library was renamed 3 years ago, I think it is safe to remove that banner.
• there is a 3 month old build error shown in the readme

Other improvements

• triaging issues. There are several issues from 2017, that should be looked at
• more examples in the documentation

Why did I create this issue

Recently, I was looking for a new translation library for react. I wasn't happy with react-i18next anymore and looked around. Besides lingui-js i also looked at tag and I really like it. However, the issues mentioned above pushed me away from this lib.

I would like to help give this project a makeover by addressing some of the points above myself. I can help out with the documentation and add more tutorials (mainly react). I can also try working through the issues, but I cannot label or close any of them or I don't have enough context for them yet.

Is this something you would like to do for this project @AlexMost ?

Sounds reasonable, those issues can push away many users. I have sent you an invitation to ttag org, will appreciate any help. Glad that you liked the lib, will try to dedicate more time on this project. As far as I see, currently, the main points of improvements are:

• Contribution guide
• Fix readme (remove old name occurrences).
• Fix or close hanging issues.
• Doc improvements (fix links, new examples, new articles)
• Build error fix.

What I was going to do in near future:

• fix this issue t,jt functions don't translate phrases where one variable uses several times #212 as it seems like a bug that we should fix a long time ago.
• address all other hanging issues
• add contribution guide, maybe change or add some new labels to issues. A good example is https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client, they have done a great job.

If you want to take some of this or other issues, will appreciate it a lot! Anyway, thanks for your feedback, welcome to the ttag team!
