New Small Basic Gallery Website

Hi everyone,

I haven't really been doing anything with Small Basic since I learned programming with it a few years back. But recently, I began to help developing the new Small Basic Online version on GitHub from time to time.

I've seen a lot of changes to the SB community recently, with the move of the blog and the forum and the TechNet Gallery shutting down. And I thought a central place collecting work done with and for Small Basic was missing.

So, here's what I created: Small Basic Gallery.

I wanted to create a website where everyone can find tools and extensions for Small Basic and, most importantly, cool projects others have created. The Gallery currently has three sections: programs created with Small Basic, extensions and tools (IDEs, ...).

Everyone can add their work to the Gallery: It is built from a GitHub repository. To add a new project to the website, you can simply add a new file with a description and links to your page on GitHub (here's how) and it will be displayed on the website. Each project gets its own page: here's an example.

To have some content to start with, I imported the program and extension gallery from the SB blog/ wiki. Since TechNet Gallery is shutting down soon, I also made a backup of all not backed up projects with the "Small Basic" tag from there and re-published them on Small Basic Gallery: Gallery TechNet Archive. These imports were done automatically, so they often still need additional descriptions or clean up.

Of course, this is a community project. If you like the idea, it would be awesome to get your help to make it a place where users and learners find tools and inspiration by adding your work or other tools you like!
