I've started working on a new UI for the samba, with the intention of it being responsive design. I'm starting from scratch but using the current look as a template (colors, positioning, etc). I'm attempting a proxied/scraping approach for the data; building out fetchers and parsers as I go. I'm doing the frontend in React + Next JS + Tailwind CSS. I'm new to TW so it's somewhat explorative.

The project is way bigger than I'm acknowledging, but piece-by-piece... Smile

Anyway, If anyone is interested in a way to lose some time and hopefully have some fun, let me know you're around. The code is in github and any collaboration is welcomed. Post something about yourself if you're interested or just curious.

@EverettB, aren't you a developer or at least a dabbler?

Also, dabblers and hobbyists are welcome too.

Yes, I know how to do all the PHP stuff the site runs on but not the technologies you are talking about.
I'm a bit behind the times. Very Happy

@EverettB, I feel you. I've been a PHP and Python developer much longer then I've been a React developer. Over the last 3 years I've dived deeply into the react development world.

Do you do all of the site development on your own? I've never worked on phpBB before.

Yes, the base is PHPBB but I wrote most of the other stuff like the classifieds.

The Gallery was a program someone made as an add-on to phpBB but it's massively changed.

Just putting in a little time now and then, wavering back and forth between trying to work on the data and getting distracted by playing with the look and feel but it's slowly getting filled in.

If you want to peek at it:
https://thesamba.vercel.app/vw/

Login functionality works but the rest is a read-only experience so far. Mostly focussed on starting the basics llike header, menu, mobile header, mobile menu, mobile home page, classifieds, and forums. Still all kinds of little things to do. Hiccups with all the relative urls being used. Paying most attention to the mobile stuff first.

@EverettB, I'm sure you know how it goes, since you've waded through all of this before.
