Happy birthday, Botwiki!
📅 5 years ago in Anniversary, Milestone | Updated 3 years ago
Botwiki just turned three years old! 🎉🎂🤖
While some of the Botwiki-related side projects had to be set aside over the past year or two, the site itself is still very much alive and on its original mission to preserve the creative examples of online bots.
And the recent switch to WordPress makes the goal much easier to achieve and helped Botwiki continue to grow:
- There are now over 800 bots on the site.
- Our starter projects have been remixed hundreds of times.
- Over 30 creative botmakers applied for Botmaker Badges.
But numbers aside, the best way to show the success of Botwiki is how much people enjoy browsing it and contributing to it.
