How it Works

The RoundUp site is a static website generated by Hugo. The site is hosted on Github Pages and is only updated when the Github Action to Generate a new RoundUp Issue is run. For now, we will try to generate a new issue every other week - but that may change if we have more (yay!) or less news to share going forward.

When the Github Action is run, it looks at the open "next-roundup" Issue and generates a JSON file for it, then tells Hugo to build the stite. The site is deployed to Github Pages and then a Screenshot of the new issue is taken to be set as the Issue's thumbnail image.

Next, we generate a new Tweet, a Bsky post, and a Discord post with the new issue's link and thumbnail image.

Finally, the "next-roundup" Issue is closed and a new "next-roundup" Issue is created for the next issue.

Who made this?

This was created by Tim I Hely of Axol Studio, LLC.

The concept was unabashedly stolen from Haxe.io by Skial Bainn (but all the code is unique).
