Makery projects website

A website that gathers the Makery's Discord project threads into tidy project pages, so there is always somewhere to point people to see what the community is building.

Stavros built a projects website for the Makery. He already collects all of the server's Discord messages in a database, which he uses to generate the newsletter, and the same collection now feeds this site too.

The site looks only at threads in the Discord, works out which ones are about a project, gathers up their text and images, and turns each one into a project page. For now the result is "a bit of a mishmash of everything", since the threads haven't always been kept tidy, but Stavros expects that a little curation will make it great.

His aim is to have one place to point people to for all the cool things made at the Makery. He enjoys telling everyone about what he's building but can't always find the time for a proper writeup, and this lets the threads do some of that work. He notes that the generated text reads as "LLMese" for the moment, something he plans to fix later.
