  I am all for that haha. I remember we used to have a blog directory of Malaysian blogs. I wish we had that again. Can we build something like that?

    or we could start a simple list of links in git, something like this, which should give you some motivation to learn git 🦾

      Haha dang. I am not great with git yet, still learning. But maybe we can sort of keep an ever expanding list that people can add to. What platform is good for that?

        well there are wikis, but that may be a bit overkill, and there aren’t many free wiki hosters.

        perhaps more suitable would be collaborative editing/note-taking platforms. there are the open source ones like etherpad and hedgedoc, where you can choose your own instance (instance list for etherpad and hedgedoc). there’s also notion, which I think the admin team here uses, so you can ask them for more info, but it’s a centralized platform.

    hmm, directory reminds me of dmoz, which wikipedia says has become curlie.org.

    anyway, does anyone still blog or have they all moved to facebook now (I guess I’m thinking of malaysian blogs on the free blogspot and wordpress hosts, would probably be different if you had your own domain name, as that may give a little more motivation)?

    the last time I checked, a few of the blogs I used to read had become invite-only (perhaps the bloggers grew up and didn’t want all their old stuff on public display), and of course the rest of them just aren’t updated anymore.

      Sounds like a good idea!
