  We also need ideas for content

  Quick tutorial series on classic game mechanics (like Arcanoid, Space Invaders, Tetris, etc.) could be very useful for both beginners and interested developers who want to see how does Gideros' OOP workflow look like.
  
  Maybe examples of the same mechanics but using Gideros' unique 'fake threads' feature.
  I'm still new to Gideros but I'm already falling in love with them, I feel like I'll use them a LOT.
  
  Definitely fake threads deserve to be highlighted on blog. I think any app developer would find fake threads immensely awesome.
  
  P. S. Definitely I will want to write articles for Gideros blog when I'll become more advanced.

  Some good ideas. I'll see if I can come up with something for fake threads.

  It would be good if new tutorials could be written to go in the new website. The links in the tutorial are to the old site too. are we just sticking with the old site?

  For some reason Tumblr deleted some content I wrote earlier today - so I've decided to try 'blogger' instead. I think it looks better and also has a better 'backend'. Anyhow I've update the first post in this thread and copied all the content from the old Tumblr blog to this one.

  Can we someday interview maintainers?
  Who are you guys, with what programming languages do you work on your full-time jobs, etc.

  I updated my earlier blog post so it was syntax highlighted.

  The link to the highlighter is at the bottom of the post.

  @SinisterSoft for some reason I can't open domain blog.giderosmobile.com (neither from my regular IP, nor from VPN)
  Is there a problem only on my side, or blog doesn't work for everybody?
  
  P. S. Btw guys have you seen visualization of Gideros' evolution made with Gource?
  
  (it's just up to 2015)

  @SinisterSoft now blog works, thx!
  Btw, where is an article about fake threads? Did you delete it?
  https://blog.giderosmobile.com/post/170969736010/an-interactive-loading-screen-using-fake
  If you have backup, could you pls post it in 'code snippets' section?

  @Apollo14 I think that's the post that was deleted for no reason - why we moved from one system to another (the blog 'backend').

  @keszegh It would be great though if more people would want to contribute to the blog...

  I can promote Gideros on Habrahabr.ru, HUGE russian-speaking IT-community. They accept articles for free, just articles have to be really interesting. And they shouldn't look like dumb ads.
  Developers of Unity, Corona SDK, etc. - they all are there on Habrahabr.
  
  I don't have enough gamedev experience to write articles myself yet, though I'd love share some knowledge later on when I'll gain more experience.
  
  But at least currently I can make translations and post there.
  I would say people there like case-studies very much.
  For example it could be an article about Maximots @hgy29 's game that got 30.000 players in the first day of release.
  Or an actual comparison of Lua mobile engines/frameworks, their current state in 2018.
  Or something else.
