Haxe.io's future #1201
Description
The Haxe roundups have steadily been getting less frequent, from a weekly post to bi-monthly, then monthly and now more or less whenever I get time. The change was largely down to "discovering" content, which was around the time twitter got purchased (3 years ago?) and the first user exodus happened and everyone was finding new platforms. Throw in life stuff into the mix, the roundups obv got pushed further down my priority list.
the future?
I think for the foreseeable future, no new roundups will be published to the haxe.io website. The website was never completed and has had lots of rewrites over the last 11 years that never got published.
Instead of using a home made static site generator and being 90%+ Haxe powered, I think its time to take this time to redesign the website, using commonly available tooling.
when this going be done by?
Lets try and aim for 2026 👍 ... 🤷 January. 🤷
The roundup needs to get back onto my weekly schedule and I plan to get back to publishing the roundups monthly.
next steps
I've got a couple months worth of emails, content and issues to go through. I will also post an outline and my thoughts on what work needs doing to the site.
until then
Until Haxe.io is back up and running again, if you haven’t already, go join the Haxe Discord server, they regularly host Haxe roundup roundups.
All the people behind the Haxe Discord servers success should be proud of what they've created & fostered, it is a great community resource. 👏
