    • Moa PartyMoa Party
      Links your [[Mastodon]] account to [[Twitter]] to enable cross-posting in both directions.
      @flancian, @vera and I have formed a squad under the [[FedStoa]] to run Moa as a public utility. The home base for this is now on Gitlab at https://gitlab.com/fedstoa/moa. The issue queue in that repo is where TODOs are actively being tracked.
      The moaparty.com website is the status / news / docs website for the project, with the source code and build on Gitlab under the [[FedStoa]] group.

      This will document how this site gets connected to @Flancian’s [[Anagora]] at the git repo level.
      As of [[January 24th, 2021]], @flancian connected the bmann/bmcgarden git repo into the [[Agora]].
      I agree to the contract of the agora. I may create a [[Contract]] of my own in the future.

      Ideally, this would have a number of goals:

      list local makers
      increase sales to those makers
      connect local supply chains

      What goods are made in Vancouver?
      This is sort of the main question, perhaps connected to “Can I buy X in Vancouver?”.
      Shopify Site, Monthly Specials
      An idea is to build a Shopify site that lists makers.
      Users can browse makers and go directly to their site. Can also subscribe to a mailing list wi...       – a list of made in VancouverVancouver
