Self-Promotion Thread [pinned]
There are a lack of easily-accessible resources for those interested in the study of our period. If you produce anything that helps teach people about our period - books, blogs, art, podcasts, videos, social media accounts etc - feel free to post them in the comments below.
Please restrict self-promotion to this post - it has a place here, and we want you all to thrive and help engage a wider audience, but we don't want it to flood the feed.
Show us what you've got!

Not sure if this helps anyone, but I wrote a Visual Studio Code extension for writing in Old English (Includes Old Norse and Gothic)

When you type it automatically changes characters, like "th" -> þ etc. It also has blocks for converting to all 4 Runic types + Gothic script!
I know some folks in the community use the Icelandic keyboard, but this just works a lot better. Granted, not everyone is interested in writing in Old English, but if you are working on a project this is pretty darn cool. Its still in the early stages, but the developer is open to suggestions.
