I see that Rive has built a community section, which they seem to be favouring over Discord. I assume this is an effort to help with discoverability of solutions, as search engines (and LLMS) would be able to index the questions and answers. Not sure the Remotion team would want to maintain the forum tech, but thought I'd post it here for consideration all the same

1. when a discord message is interesting, we want to turn it into a documentation article. there is now a reaction emoji 📚 that will use AI to turn the thread into a draft documentation page. will use it at the end of the thread

2. we are partnering with <@517057574483525655> + crawlchat to add discord docs to our dataset and offer a chatbot, soon also in discord

Technical Note: Linking Discord Discussions to Documentation

Problem

As discussions occur on Discord, valuable information may be lost over time, making it difficult for users to find solutions. The challenge is to efficiently capture and convert notable Discord messages into a structured format for documentation, which can be indexed by search engines and enhance discoverability.

Reasons

The lack of an organized method to document interesting Discord discussions leads to important insights being buried in chat logs. Users struggle to find past discussions that may already offer solutions to their questions.

Solution

We have developed a two-fold approach to convert meaningful Discord messages into documentation:

1. Documentation Draft Generation:

   • When a user finds a message interesting, they can utilize the reaction emoji 📚.
   • This will trigger an AI-based process that converts the thread into a draft documentation page.

2. Integration with External Tools:

   • We are collaborating with specific partners to enrich our dataset with Discord discussions.
   • A chatbot will be implemented soon, which will enable users to access documentation directly within Discord.

By adopting these steps, we can ensure that valuable information from discussions is systematically captured and made accessible, fostering a more informative community experience.
