• There's http://www.espruino.com/Tips+and+Tricks (which is what http://forum.espruino.com/conversations/­324978/ was about).

    That page was added specifically because you requested it, so it's a shame you weren't aware that it already contains a bunch of the forum posts that you mention above :/

    I agree thumbnails would be better, however...

    The submission would include the finished project image, a description along with the source code to create that project.

    We have that already at https://github.com/espruino/EspruinoDocs­/tree/master/examples

    Projects that get added to that directory are put on the Espruino website (eg. http://www.espruino.com/Asteroids+Game), sorted by newest first, and automatically linked to from the parts that the project uses - so for instance that Asteroids game is linked from http://www.espruino.com/Pixl.js#tutorial­s, the Graphics lib, and even http://www.espruino.com/Reference where it uses built-in functions.

    It was added specifically because I thought writing a separate Markdown file would be too much of a hassle...

    So submitting a project is one GitHub PR away, or even just a forum post with the image & JS on would enable me to add the page so nobody had to learn how to use Git (and occasionally I have added links to users' code myself - for instance http://www.espruino.com/RYLR).

    I'd considered adding something right at the front of the Espruino website containing the latest tutorials, but until there are more user-submitted ones it doesn't seem worth it.

    So really it's just trying to make it more appealing for folks to post up their projects. Does anyone have suggestions?

    • Making it more obvious - for instance a tutorial on submitting a project, and linking at the top of the Projects section of this forum?
    • Half price Espruino boards for those posting projects? This might have to be for posting on the Espruino site and something else like Instructables, hackaday.io, hackster, etc.

    Any other ideas? Would half price boards convince any of you to post up what you'd done? I know there's some awesome stuff going on with Espruino, but very little of it gets posted up :)
