Read moreI think it was James of https://jamesg.blog/ who I first mentioned to a while back that I wanted to make a game focused on helping non-technical people build a website. Well James: here it is!
The Gardn is something I've been working on at https://gardn.website. Right now it's kind of like a bookmarking website that helps you save links and post them to your website (or Mastodon, if your website doesn't support Micropub).
Eventually The Gardn game will be the main entrypoint. If you don't have a website you'll be coached through creating one. The game will give you interfaces to enter URLs (your website, posts, etc.) to scan and save which will help you get seeds to plant in your garden.
Your garden is your space to cultivate. I'm not quite ready to show that yet! My vision is that you will be able to share a link to your in-game garden on your website. Visitors to your website can come to your virtual garden as a player to explore. My hope is that it's a creative space for webmasters as much as it is a way to help grow the #IndieWeb.
