Where do people developing new programs for Apple II computers hang out? Forum? Discord? IRC?
Re: Apple II dev
I did make some stuff for Apple ][, but I don't hang out anywhere.

Re: Apple II dev
I've been working on a cc65-based framework library for Apple II development, though it still needs a few more things before I'd call it release-ready.
https://github.com/bbbradsmith/apple2flat
My main frustration with the existing cc65 Apple II platform libraries is that they require DOS (taking up a ton of memory and disk space, not to mention Apple DOS' confusing memory map), and also favour development for the enhanced IIe (65C02) rather than the more common 6502 versions of the system. Every time I found a program someone had written in cc65, it wouldn't run on my IIe. :S
Trying to get all the basic needs for games... input, sound, text, graphics, disk storage, tape storage. Support for both C and assembly projects. Simple and unencumbered memory footprint (giving up DOS and its filesystem helps here). Compatibility across the various models (II/II+/IIe/eIIe/IIC/III/IIGS). Take-what-you-need library.
