Website for Rift

[brianwk]

@acsandmann Do you mind if I make a website for Rift? It will take some time but will have some time to do it soon. I also don't mind writing some documentation like getting started, configuration, etc. Let me know if someone else is already doing this.

[acsandmann]

no, i already planned to do so at some time but it is pretty far down the list of things to do for me so i would greatly appreciate it

[acsandmann]

I already started on a website. I will place this in a mono-repository with the mdBook documentation stuff and invite you to it soon. Also I will write some documentation based on what I know to get the documentation started.

not to rush you at all, but, any updates?

@acsandmann How about creating a Discord server? It might make it easier to coordinate and build a community. I know that many people do not use or regularly check GitHub discussions, so a lot more would likely join a Discord server instead. If you look at big projects like Ghostty, their Discord server has far more user engagement compared to their GitHub discussions. I already have a custom Discord bot that I can adjust for the server, and it includes some very unique features I have not seen in any other bot so far.

Sorry I am at any time working on like 6 different things. I didn't forget about this and I will publish the repository soon.

I think the website should eventually have a 'recipes' section that has Rift integrations from the community. Since it's customizable with the mach port, cli subscription, etc.

[acsandmann]

yeah i think the recipe section would be invaluable since there really is a lot you can do with cli/ipc imo

I think by next week I will have something to show you. Thanks for all the hard work wrangling bugs, seems like a difficult task you got here.

[brianwk]

Sorry for delay, I got a little busy, but will have time to work on this soon.

[acsandmann]

no prob. i too have been busy with other things and have taken a break but i should be back into the swing of things of the next week so development should resume at the same pace as before!

Maybe an icon should also come up... i can try to make one, but what colour scheme / style would you want

[brianwk]

Are you in the right thread? Not sure what you are talking about. Unless you mean a favicon?

[unsecretised]

Yeah a FavIcon

[brianwk]

Yes things like that will be useful, I'll create a repository soon for the website so it's easier for you to create a icon / improved logo.
