Description

Feature

Right now the only way to see projects on Code.mil is to look at the code.json file. I would like to have a user-friendly view of the projects in that inventory for anyone to peruse. The Code.gov team has something like this, but I'm not sure if it is reusable, and we don't necessarily need it to look like that.

Research direction
Review the code.json file in the repository to understand the data structure. Investigate the current build system (likely Jekyll) and consider how to add a new page. Look at Code.gov's implementation for inspiration but adapt to the simpler needs of code.mil. The new page could be a simple HTML or template file that reads code.json and renders a list of projects.
