I have one already that I set up a while ago and never told anyone about.

I just created an invite link for it that never expires: https://discord.gg/ktd74dm5mw

Initially announced via Twitter: https://twitter.com/simonw/status/1547305091446632448 - two people joined already!

Will link to it from the website once it's a tiny bit more established.

I made this icon for the Discord - needs to be square and quite high resolution, and needs enough of a margin that it doesn't get truncated when rendered as a circle.

53 members now! This was a good idea.

I'm going to promote this on https://datasette.io/ and https://github.com/simonw/datasette

Made another version of the Discord icon, this time ensuring the icon was exactly centered within the square:

better-square

I'm going to add it as a badge - that will work for the READMEs, the docs and the homepage:

Need to enable the widget for that server:

Interesting - now that I've turned that on https://discord.com/api/guilds/823971286308356157/widget.json is a JSON feed of who is online right now

This shields.io badge looks right to me:

Next to the current PyPI one:

I'm going to ditch the logo, I don't like the blue on black:

There are more tweaks I need to make to the Discord setup.

simonw commented 2 years ago

I'm going to turn on these features:

And setup a welcome screen:

Talk about the Datasette open source project and its ecosystem of related tools and plugins

simonw commented 2 years ago

I'm going to configure "rules" as well:

I'm inspired by the way Astro does this:

Here's the rules screen preview:

https://datasette.io/conduct now redirects. I updated the Discord rules screen to link to that.
