NOW OPEN SOURCE!

After receiving an amazing request to contribute, I've decided to begin the process of open-sourcing nostr:npub18kpw3akvdsyk239lx0jgwksr74sq4nlha3r8u9g2rnrhztfpfhysy469c4

This project has always been a free contribution to the #bitcoin community, and publishing it under an open-source license is my way of proving that to potential contributors.

Here's the official GitHub repo: https://github.com/sovenor/bitcoin-rocks

This repo will allow anyone to contribute! Whether you want to add a new link to the website, support a new language, or something else entirely, you'll be able to do that with this repo.

THE FIRST PROJECT: LANGUAGES

Soon, I'll migrate all of the content that currently lives on bitcoin[.]rocks to bitcoin[.]rocks/en since the content is written in English.

That will allow anyone to translate the content into a new language and submit it in a pull request. For example, Polish content will live at bitcoin[.]rocks/pl

You'll be automatically redirected depending on your browser language.

Over time, the content on /en could be totally different than /pl since links to local articles and stories may be more impactful.

Ultimately, the goal is to enable nostr:npub18kpw3akvdsyk239lx0jgwksr74sq4nlha3r8u9g2rnrhztfpfhysy469c4 to be a "first link" to share with people who ask you about bitcoin β€” not just those that speak English.

DISCLAIMER

I am new to this. I've been tinkering and building websites for many years, but I've never collaborated with other people in this way. I'm incredibly excited for the possibilities! If you have suggestions, please let me know!

Yes, definitely intimidating! I went back and forth on it but I'm confident it will be a huge net benefit in the long run.
