Create an open community chat (Telegram / Discord / etc.) for HFTBacktest users #304
Description
Hi @nkaz001,
First of all, thank you for building and open-sourcing HftBacktest - it is a very impressive and rare project in the HFT / market microstructure space.
I would like to propose creating an open community chat (for example, Telegram, Discord, or another platform you prefer) for users and contributors of this project.
The goal would be:
- to allow users to discuss HFT and market microstructure topics in general,
- to discuss academic papers and research ideas,
- to ask questions about HftBacktest usage and design,
- to share ideas, experiments, and potential contributions,
- to help build an open community around this open-source project.
This would not need to be limited strictly to support questions - rather, an open discussion space around HFT research and practical experimentation, centered on HftBacktest.
I believe this could:
- lower the barrier for new users,
- encourage collaboration and contributions,
- increase visibility and long-term sustainability of the project.
Of course, the choice of platform and moderation level would be entirely up to you.
Thanks again for your work, and I'd be happy to help if this idea sounds useful.
