[tantek]2 maybe a better question for #indieweb-dev as it sounds like you're asking a development question?
# [morganm] Its more of a games question, and broadly intended, but if someone has dev things about it I can take it there 😉
# [morganm] The bot hasnt said anything yet 😛
# [tantek]2 not really, you said "making ... games" and "indie focused in terms of game development" so it seems the only indieweb-relevance is development related
# [tantek]2 the bot is a fallback for obvious jargon usage
# [morganm] This room feels like a room where random people join expecting instant interaction or spam and then its real quiet because everything happens elsewhere
# 
[artlung] Always tricky to find other people doing a niche thing you're doing. In terms of how to find those folks that's the hard problem. It would be great if we had good search engines which focused on personal website owners to find such things. Social media is a proxy for that. For better or for worse.
# [morganm] I dont know just making conversation -- Ill take it a dev 🙂
# [morganm] Specifically Im interested in finding people who have taken website content such as HTML and made pixel art
# [morganm] Ive found the Playdate Dev forum but its very very dev focused

# eikimart Hi everyone.
# eikimart I'm an old guy. I've had eikimartinson.com forever, but I have to admit I've neglected it. I'm gratified to find there's some kind of movement around this now though.
# eikimart Thinking about redesigning, cleaning up some of it, and getting back to treating it as my primary form of online expression.
# eikimart And hopefully making use of what you all have been up to in the meantime!
# perryflynn Welcome eikimart!
# eikimart Thanks perryflynn!
# eikimart I'm just starting to get into it but the principles here seem to be in alignment with my own.

# eikimart I built a custom templating engine in PHP many years ago that's been running the non-blog pages there, and the blog part is Serendipity with a custom theme.
# eikimart I've been sniffing around Hugo for a while as a possible next step.

# eikimart Thanks, but I have no particular love for PHP, I'd like to get away from that approach actually.
# eikimart Would rather batch generate static HTML
mald0r0r joined the channel
# [tantek]2 Plenty of folks doing generating static files also
