Should we create a web directory of community projects?

hey all! similar to our resources list, it might be a good idea to have a good-looking web directory on the 32bit.cafe site of all of our community members’ projects! even if it wasn’t made collaboratively within the cafe, it’d be nice to have a place outside of the forum to show all of our awesome projects our amazing members are contributing to the web.

what do you think? should we do it collaboratively (e.g. github pulls to update) or have a form and page maintainer?

I wonder if there’s a way we could use a discourse topic that would generate project pages based on topic replies.

The community projects topic could have a reply template that community members would fill in to make sure that each individual project page can be generated correctly.

Would lower the barrier of entry.

Would need safeguards around who can post to the topic, trust levels etc, but could work!

I would very much love this!

As a side note, does anyone here remembers Makerbase?

Also, from some of the conversations I’ve seen, it sounds like Glitch might actually pivot into something similar.

Can you say more about what (for these purposes) counts as a “project”? I figure without specific criteria the list could quickly get very unwieldy.

Oh I don’t even know, really. I was just thinking about how my own personal projects encompass things like writing essays and making webpage templates, which I expect may be outside the intended scope. But if it’s specifically limited to group projects, that could be a useful line to draw.
