So, based on an earlier conversation, @amber surge suggested creating a resources page in the LBT website. I wanted to put my thoughts here and ask for others' thoughts and develop some degree of consensus on what to put and how to put it.

Right now, I'm thinking:

  • A full route/page with its own nav item separate from "Content" (the one with community shares)
  • Sections could be either by resource type (podcast, YouTube, etc.) or by topic... I like the latter option but would like some thoughts on the categorization of topics
  • A "Top Recommendations" section (maybe?)
  • Would like some opinions on how many types of resources should be included: should we add learning materials like courses and books?

As for execution, I may at least be able to put the ideas together in a static route. I believe it doesn't need to rely on a database unless someone could tell me why that doesn't make sense.

I'm sure a Category for resources should have MacOS, Linux, and Windows.

James likes to use fig for his terminal, but that is a Mac exclusive application.
So a section/resource of various tools/applications that are OS specific?
Then there are tools that are cross-platform like Flameshot (my favorite screenshot app) https://flameshot.org/

Maybe a section for AI related tools for webdev?
Like Cursor (VS Code fork with integrated GPT).

Would there be a Rating system?
Highest Rated. Most Viewed. šŸ¤”

Everyone asks, "What VS Code theme is that?" or "What VS Code extension is that?"

Flameshot
Flameshot

Flameshot is a free and open-source, cross-platform tool to take screenshots with many built-in features to save you time.

This would require state somehow which might not be ideal in this situation

#

Certain state like a client side filter or search could be useful and would be easy enough to do in sveltekit, but ratings will be dynamic and will need to load from somewhere. It could be included in the database somehow, bit that would mean urls for each resource would also need to be stored.

#

In my view, I think having a set format and doing PRs to include things as static links might be the way.

#

What might be cool though now that i think about it, is a form on the site that would allow submitting something for consideration. When it gets through to the DB, have a discord bot pick it up and start a forum post about it, like this discussion. Server members can chime in, and if approved a mod could issue a command that would then merge it into the page and it would be available. In that case it would have database state, so maybe a rating system or upvote system from members could work
