This probably sounds ridiculous, but I gotta say it out loud anyway because it’s been driving me bananas for the past few days. I want to create an information resource specifically for Star Trek meme creators. I haven’t been able to get it out of my head, so I think I gotta just build it already.

What would this site even have on it, you ask? Off the top of my head, I’m thinking the contents would consist of: the list of official Trek fonts for all shows (already in progress), links to screencap sites, links to the few Trek meme generators that are out there, software recommendations by platform, maybe a few guides here and there. Basically, all the stuff that would make it possible or easier to make your own Trek memes. Most of us here already have our own workflow set up just the way we want it, but not everybody does, and I’m also thinking a resource like this could help lower the barrier to entry a little.

I write code and documentation for a living, so it’s kinda in my wheelhouse. It would be a fun thing to do on the side, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have a platform and host already in mind.

But I’m wondering if this would actually be used? And would anyone here be interested in contributing?

      @Moxvallix@sopuli.xyz, Just a heads up about the Trek meme-making web development idea, as you offered your services earlier. I’ve decided to go in a slightly different direction than I initially thought; it’s gonna be on a FOSS wiki that lives on the provider’s (Miraheze) free managed hosting solution. We don’t have source code access and thus won’t be doing typical web dev stuff.

      I still kinda wanna do some collaborative development for something Trek-related one of these days, so if/when that happens, I’ll let you know!
