Web 2.0 is defined as a new, custom-built website meant to expand our capabilities beyond the limits of our current website. While some blindspots can be covered by plugins we can add to Wordpress, WP is still not quite the right platform for our needs.

I’m willing to contribute to this. I don’t have any professional experience with web design, but I spent a year in a programming bootcamp to learn full-stack development and am able to work with React.
Was any kind of progress made since the last message in January? The last discussion in the old topic was about whether to stick with NextJS.

@olive hatch This seems to be on hold as the community focuses on Severed Chains for the near future

That's not true.

Hey - sorry for being absent a bit. I'm still more than happy to work on this 🙂 I've just had a very busy time at work recently.

Hello again. Been kind of busy the last couple of months. I too would love to work on this project as well. I can help with designing the website as well as coding.

Hello everyone. @celest nexus what do you think about having everyone involved in making this website meet up in a time that works for everyone? This way, we can come up with a game plan on what we'll do moving forward and get everyone on the same page. I have some suggestions on what we should all do first, but we can talk about this when we all meet.

Hey @barren geyser , I appreciate the bump. There's so much to do, for sure. Dunno about a scheduled meeting, as that can be tough on anyone who can't make it, but we can try. We should keep most info in text here so everyone can follow along, regardless.
I'm setting aside time today to cover what the goals are and stuff like that.
barren geyser
Hello again @celest nexus , yes I see what you mean. If meeting up wouldn't work for everyone, we can find something that works for everyone. I'll follow your lead.

I have spent the whole day making great headway. Just about time to tackle web stuff, but I have one more recording to do first.

@barren geyser I fell behind while shoring up the various fan art/music events going on. That is all caught up now. I apologize for the delay.
To everyone, especially Hotepp if you're still around: I have fetched the old Web 2 notes and am making an effort to reboot the project. Originally, we had a good setup, but miscommunication made it fade into the ether as other things became a large priority (Severed Chains support, among other things). I also think we started with the wrong focus, which I consider my fault. I will work harder to communicate effectively so we have a rock-solid foundation that doesn't stagnate.
barren geyser
No problem at all. We all have things we needed to take care of.

No worries. This is expected. Before anything happens this idea needs a strong conceptual foundation and time invested. That’s why I said, that Severed Chains takes priority right now. It’s better not to try and achieve everything at the same time.

im curious is the plan for this to be a custom made blog back end or is the plan to continue to use a processor like WP but jaz it up? I know its never been the "best" back end but i cant deny that WP has always had a compelling feature to headache ratio
