I would love more outlets for creative coding, I feel like neocities is a bit like that. That said there isn't really a scene or real sense of community (AFAIK). I mean someone liked something I uploaded once, but I never interacted with them again.
Cohost had fun vibes like that as well, but I guess it's no longer with us. Same with Glitch, but admittedly I didn't use it in the last few years, but it was my go to option for hosting a snippet of unserious HTML. "HTML in the park" does seem like one fun IRL outlet for this kind of thing, I found out my city has one and I want to go to it.
Admittedly none of these were really demo scenes or places where creative coding was exclusively fostered, but creative coding and demo-like-scenes communities probably exist but are more likely some obscure discord server.
- shrinks99 1y agoHTML in the Park is one of my favourite events in Toronto! Great crowd, I highly recommend attending yours or setting one up if nobody runs one.
- bradly 1y agoI recently starting dabbling in live coding and found it to be really hard and fun and technical and creative. And while I'm not really that comfortable in Discord, I did find the community welcoming and helpful.
- endymion-light 1y agoWhat discord's are good for live coding/creative coding?
- bradly 1y agoTOPLAP is the one I’m most familiar with and it is nicely organized by live coding env/lang. There are some other servers listed here: https://github.com/toplap/awesome-livecoding https://github.com/toplap/awesome-livecoding

- akst 1y agoDo you know of any good twitter lists to get an idea of who’s interesting to follow?
- endymion-light 1y ago~I've begun to set up creative coding events in my city just due to this. I'd love to join an online community to show stuff off, I always find places like twitter end up feeling like you're shouting into the void. It's not about loads of people commenting and liking your work, just finding a place to actually discuss it would be fantastic
- akst 1y agoHard agree on twitter feeling like you’re shouting into a void
