Would anyone be interested in forming a small community for web development? There's a handful of people out there in the broader MFGG Universe I know out there that are pretty skilled in the field, @Spritanium and @HylianDev I can think off the top of my head but I'm sure there are others! MFGG itself is mainly devoted to game development (as it should be!) but I wonder if there's enough interest out there to start something for web development in general?
It always seems like improving fan game-related sites is a near-impossible task and I think part of the issue is there really isn't too much within the community that's there to grow the skills necessary for doing that. There's some basic stuff every year with NCFC booths and maybe some people make simple websites for their games but there's not too much talking about what goes into that stuff out in the open.
Obviously there are plenty of communities and resources for web development out there in the broader internet but I think it'd be pretty fun to have something specifically built around the fan game community.
Does this sound interesting or am I being pretty boring? LOL I figure we could start with a Discord chat and if there's interest from there a forum or a reddit or something along those lines. I don't anticipate this to be a Big thing but it'd be cool if this ultimately improved the people interested's skills and maybe lead to some better websites in the wider fan-game community.

The Discord server has been created and is availble here: https://discord.gg/6EUcYYB
I'll update with any additional information if there is any
