We're going on vacations! #1356
Description
We would also like to make sure we won't burn out in the long term. I know many of us have been losing sleep due to all the excitement! So, we're going to keep iterating and improving the project for the next 10 days. And then we are going to take a collective one-week vacation. All of us. As a group. If you'd like to keep hanging out with your friends here, you're welcome to do so! But the expectation will be that we all go out and touch a ton of grass or snow during that week. That we focus on other things. Visit your loved ones and finish reading the book you forgot you started before npxm came into our lives. Take the time to recharge. I'm sure we'll rejoin with even more energy afterwards to do the last push to prepare for March 3rd. Believe me, things will get even crazier after that, so let's make sure we're taking care of each other. Building npmx should feel like a marathon, not a sprint. There is absolutely no one rushing us here, we can decide together to breathe more 🙂
We'll be closing Discord from Saturday 14 for one week. Tasks that day:
- delete all invite links
- lock all channels except for
#garden(so people already there can keep connecting) - redirect chat.npmx.dev to a new
/vacationsroute
For the /vacations route, we could have a copy similar to the above description and tell people that they should join discord in a week. And they are invited to play with the repo in the meantime, create issues, and PRs but the expectation is that we're going to be hands off during that time. We could have a nice illustration, but it doesn't need to be a complex page.
Stretch goal
only after merging the basic page so we know that we have things ready
Should we somehow capture the user intention to auto-invite them when we are open again? My only worry with this is that we shouldn't put everyone at the same time when we return, or we won't be able to welcome them.
I vote for keeping things simple and letting people remember at random times to check again.
Note: someone mentioned that electron may have done the same thing. I haven't found info about this though.
