So this is a thread. It works but is limited to 24h without "Discord server boost" (whatever that means) which is a premium feature.

I received an email from Christian and will have a video meeting with him on the 2nd of December to sort things out.

For those who could not make it to the video meeting yesterday, here is a short summary of what came out of it (at least what I remember from it):

  • People in this community are nice 😌 (this is just me being happy with the vibe of the meeting, it was not a real topic).
  • Overmind should be maintained for a long time: people really like this tool and it is a critical part of their projects.
  • People are using the debugger and it is an important part of the ecosystem for them.
  • API can be mostly frozen as it does the job.
  • It would be nice to work on documentation as a community (I think this would also help us make this project our own).
  • It would be nice to use threads on Discord to avoid confusion.
  • If things go as planned, I would be in charge of reviewing pull requests (with the help of Henri and hopefully other contributors). But I am committing (!) to this for a year.

My personal thoughts after this meeting:

  • I like the fact that we are re-creating a community to maintain an existing good solution created by someone we (at least I) deeply respect. This is different from having a community who wants to take over the world with the latest-best-better-new solution.
  • I want a smart-little-girl logo for Overmind ! Cerebral had the "angry brain" logo and I think (I have a strong bias) that a girly logo would be a nice little contribution to encouraging girls in tech and it would give a nice new tone and direction to Overmind.
  • It would be nice to re-create a "made with Overmind" page in the docs.

Cheers !
