How do you want to communicate outside GitHub?

[ayoayco]

Hi guys. I want to ask you if you want to have some more communication outside GitHub. It's important to me that you are comfortable about it so I don't want to just go ahead create a group chat somewhere.

Couple of things I'm thinking

• Communication on GitHub is already working. We are getting some issues solved and I think that's easier to manage because this is something we do in our own time. So it is totally fine with me if we continue how we are.
• But also maybe you want somewhere you can ask questions or send ideas in a more casual way and get more immediate feedback

I am okay with both. And I think it may even be easier for someone new to just ask stuff in a group chat rather than here.

What do you think?

I just got back from a frontend conference and excited to tell you about some excitement around our project! I also want to open the discussion about starting a github org, and who will be interested to have a maintainer role :)

Although, please checkout https://matrix.org as well since I'm hearing other bigger projects are regretting having their comms on discord and wish they have set up Matrix 😅

Great to hear that project is gaining some attention! I am open to being a maintainer if you see me fit for it 😅.

By the way, Matrix seems complicated to set up and I am not sure if we should use it as I can't see any benefits of it honestly, but I am fine with either discord or matrix but slightly more with discord 😅.

I agree with @Lalit3716. In my opinion, using Matrix can potentially become a barrier of entry for others as it's overshadowed by discord currently.

Oh.. I'm also down to be a maintainer😁.

Thank you guys for the inputs and some interest getting more involved in the project! :)

Looks like Discord is a popular choice. I'm going to look into opening a server, but will also do some thinking regarding pros & cons as I do it. Will update you how it goes!

Well that was easy. Join our Discord!!!

The only disadvantage I find is it may not be easy to move our data from Discord later when the community grows. But we'll just deal with that if/when we have to.

See you there!
