Imagine waking up one morning and there was no HTML, CSS, Javascript, or Flash. We have Internet connection with no web email client, no grumpy cat memes to upvote, and no Facebook status updates to ignore. As programmers, we have to fix this. So how about we do it right this time?

I love the first half of this rant on why these technologies suck. This rant took place a year ago. Has anything changed? Is there anything being worked on to change this? Sure, there's work done to improve developing for the web, but we're still relying on HTML/CSS/Javascript as the backend for the web browser. Javascript sucks and we're writing compilers to compile language X to Javascript. HTML5 finally includes web workers, web sockets, and canvas, which are just multithreading, networking, and graphics that we should have had years ago.

Let's fix this by writing a new web browser. We start by talking about HTML/CSS/Javascript and their deficiencies and how we could improve upon their ideas. We then discuss the best language/GUI library to write the web browser in.

The goal is we talk and talk and talk and talk about how the web could be better. This is an insane project, but why can't we at least try to make things better?

Hello, nice to have you here!

Ever felt like you needed a couple people to make working on a project more fun? Or have you found yourself without an occupation for a while and felt like joining in on some coding fun?

Then this is the place to be!

The sidebar to the right explains the basics.

If you want others to join in on your project, just post information about it with a descriptive title and what else you deem important and spread the word about this subreddit to "attract" other coders who might be willing to help.

Be sure to give more than just a rough idea of your project. The more effort you already put into it, the more likely you are to find followers.

If you want to contribute to another persons work, follow their advice on how to contact them or, if none is given, answer to their thread.

Whenever you like an idea and think others could want to work on it, vote it up! If you notice someone posting a very unrefined idea or asking for others to do their work without having to invest anything themselves, you could make use of that downvote arrow.

Got questions? Just ask here!

Good luck with your endeavour! ;-)

Any advice helps please and thank you

Update Oct 15 2013: I was wrong when I set a fixed release date for version 3.0. I only want to make a good product so having any pressure on deadline is quite unnecessary. I still have to learn a lot about history to finalize the content for the next update. You can send email or comment here so I can notify you when version 3.0 is released.

Update: I want to make it clear that this project will be the weirdest game project you've ever seen. The game is almost text-based, is a history-based game, is unlike any evolution games with genetic algorithms that you could imagine. It is also intended to require very short time to finish the game because I want busy people could have time to play it. This project is created for learning.

Here is the main idea:

In World JS, people move around, find their partner and have children. As they grow smarter with every generation, greater knowledge will be gained. You watch the world, have some god powers to lead it and see its final fate.

Update: In version 2.0, I removed the term God powers from this game. Some available user interactions are now categorized as human decisions. You can let the game process by itself until you are forced to touch it in order to keep it alive.

In the early stage of the game, people do not live long, but enough for them to learn how to hunt animals, gather wild berries and control of fire. They will live longer, produce more food and gain more knowledge to maintain their life in the world. You will have to make a balancing world to expand the population.

The knowledge list of the world will be long. Early knowledge stay close to the real world history. But when you can maintain the world to the future, more creative knowledge will appear such as "Living on Mars" or "Immortal".

The game will have at least 4 parts:

• 1st part (completed): simulate the world from the first appearance of our ancestors to the cognitive revolution (about 250,000 years ago to 12,000 years ago).

• 2nd part: simulate the agricultural revolution.

• 3rd part: simulate the scientific revolution (from 500 years ago to present).

• 4th part: simulate the future.

Update for new part will be slow because I'm still learning to collect the right content to put in. But the improvement for completed parts will be happen frequently.

Here are some main tasks of the game that you can join to contribute:

• Core library: I started this project to learn OOP and memory management in Javascript. Every single line of code is needed to be reviewed. If you are a Javascript ninja, join to help this project becomes mature. If you want to learn, join and watch the source code change, you will learn as much as I have.

• Knowledge list: For someone who loves history. As I mentioned earlier, the knowledge list will have to come from a real world history first. Then, more scifi knowledge will be added later.

• User Interface: For those who want to redesign the user interface. This project applied responsive design to make it look good on various screen sizes. Even though the game runs extremely slow in mobile browsers now, but for the UI design, I always want to focus on mobile first.

• Graphics: Up to now, a tiny 37x20 png is used for the whole game to draw men, women, boys and girls. New characters and animations will be added to the game to make it more fun, like men are hunting mammoths, or some families are cooking together or some dogs are running around the game...

• Wording: This is the hardest part for me when I make this project alone. I've spent hard time choosing the word to use. Also, correct spelling or grammar is not enough. Wording in this game needs more native, concise and mature.

I just published the game today. Some of my friends ask me why I call it is a "game" because they can not do much now. It's true because the game is currently on development phase and I want to deal with the technical part first. Love to see your feedback and ideas.

Sep 15 2013 Update: Version 2.0 is released. I updated some details in this post and used it as an official discussion place for this project.

Hello everyone!

This subreddit has been online for about one and half days and we've already grown to 500 users! This is exceeding all my expectations. If we continue to grow like this, we will easily surpass the (sometimes overly strict and very Java focused, excuse me) CollaborateCode reddit and become one of the bigger open project coding communities around the web. No kidding.

Moderators wanted

With this rate of growth, we'll soon need a couple more people to watch new posts and comments. Since this subreddit is quite liberal about what can be worked on here, all we need to is to keep the good spirits and avoid fluff sneaking in.

If you want to help out, just message me. Best would be if you already have a fair bit of moderating experience, are naturally calm and don't impose any subjective "extra rules". As mentioned, I don't want this to get too strict.

Spread the word about this subreddit

Whenever you encounter a possibility, it makes sense to mention this subreddit. This community becomes naturally more useful and effective the more people follow it and contribute. Please notice that you shouldn't spam links to this anywhere, that won't leave a good impression ;-) You could also try to spread the word far over the borders of reddit itself.

Thanks to all of you!

I appreciate how fast we're growing and how well the community has responded to this. Let's keep it going!

Here's what I have so far: https://github.com/superjoe30/planet-evo

Inspired by stuff like:

• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBgG_VSP7f8

• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjweUYtpNq4

• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTj6F1OaK0A (top youtube comment is funny)

• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRu8xaLnXcw

The main goal of this project is to evolve surprising and interesting behavior.

Looking for

• ideas & brainstorming

• code

Read the readme for the project on GitHub to see what I've got as far as a DNA language. I once evolved brainfuck code to print "hello world" so I have a pretty good idea of how genetic algorithms work.

Here's a picture of some notes that I drew; this is what I'm working on right now. The basic idea is that organisms should be constructed out of basic building blocks which have different uses and properties.

The other images are screenshots at various (discarded) phases of the project. The one with the green stuff is a plant that evolved to grow sideways.

This project is motivated entirely by intellectual curiosity, so any direction you want to take it is valid.

Join #planet-evo on Freenode if you want to contribute.

How about we make a list of projects people are actively working on and seeking help. I am doing this because I want to hack on something but have no ideas of my own currently and I figured others are in the same boat as me.

I built something called Nami — https://nami777.vercel.app/

It’s not a social app.

There are no profiles, no conversations, no notifications.

Just a place where you can write something you’ve been holding in —

and leave it without expecting anything back.

I wanted it to feel like those quiet 2AM thoughts that don’t really belong anywhere.

If you check it out, I’d genuinely like to know:

did it make you feel something?

or does it feel too minimal?

Something I’ve noticed recently is that I don’t really stick to one AI model anymore.A while ago the workflow was basically:

pick a model → subscribe → use it for everything. But lately I’ve been switching models depending on what I’m doing. For example:

• Claude is usually better for deeper reasoning or architecture questions

• GPT-5.2 tends to be faster for coding iterations and quick fixes

• Gemini is decent when dealing with multimodal stuff

• smaller models like Kimi, Minimax or GLM are surprisingly good for lighter tasks like logs, quick explanations, or simple refactors

Most day-to-day coding problems don’t actually need the biggest models. I noticed this more when I tried Blackbox during their $2 Pro promo because it exposes a mix of models in one place. Being able to switch between them easily made me realize how different they are depending on the task. Now my workflow is basically:

small model → quick check or idea bigger model → deeper reasoning if needed It feels a lot more efficient than trying to force one model to do everything. Curious if other people here are doing something similar or still sticking to one main model.

Hey everyone. I'm wanting to start developing games but I'm in need of a partner who could help contribute and at the same time help teach a novice programmer. I'm looking for someone who is a good artist as well, as I lack in that area. Thanks!

I have been working solo on a C# project for about 6/7 weeks now.

The idea is to share a Desktop (like VNC) using only HTTP/HTML/JS/CCS and a browser as a client.

The project is hosted at https://github.com/vilaca/RemoteView and uses C# on the server and some JS on the client-side.

Most features are already working, code has comments, on-going documentation, a list of TODOs including both bugs (2 at the moment) and planned enhancements.

The whole project is now at 1040 lines of code dived by 12 c# source files, very modular and easy to understand.

Besides coders this project also needs testers and code reviewers so even if you're not feeling like to code, you can still be useful to the project.

The license is GPL and all are welcome to contribute.

EDIT:

*inside

I made a nice little library for sending multipart emails using Jinja2 templates. It's like Flask for emails, if Flask had only 100 lines of code.

There's a lot of things you can do, so, feel free to send a pull request!

It's also the first time I release something as open-source, so please be gentle! (If you're in the mood for refactoring, though, be my guest :D )

So, enough words. Here's the link: github.com/slapresta/mailinaut

Made an app called Fridge Pal: www.fridgepalapp.com.

I want to create a web tier but don't have a ton of time for it. Was wondering if any awesome js/web/backbone developers were interested in helping?

Split of the profits which right now aren't huge but I think it's a good idea with some potential for growth. Bonus if you know Android and want to work on the Android port with me.

One significant problem aspiring programmers face is the lack of confidence with collaboration tools like git and github which is as important as learning how to crack leetcode. To solve that, we built a discord community that takes you through how to push, pull, fork, clone and make a pull request to a project while getting help from experienced mentors if you get stuck.

You can build confidence and gain experience working in a team after closing your first issue, making your first pull request and getting it merged.

Hi everyone!

I'm working on coding katas each Tuesday at 7pm CEST. The idea is to work together in pairs or mobs (depending on how many are interested). We organize via Discord.

My plan is to also stream, but only, if everyone is fine. For me, learning together is currently more important than sharing.

The plan currently is to go through the katas on in the Cyber Dojo.

I'm a Java programmer, and currently looking for a programming/coding buddy with whom I can learn as well as develop with. I'm currently working on algorithms and data-structures in Java, and plan on going into Servlets and JSPs later on (looking to specialize in back-end web development). If you're interested, all skill levels are welcome, all that matters is that you're interested in coding and learning new things, and preferably in either c#, Java, or a scripting language like JavaScript.

All you need is a google plus account.

https://plus.google.com/events/ccptdtbkvfqs1f2t0c1u2lh98a8

If anyone want to drop by and code together that would be awesome. I'll have it open for as much of the weekend as I can while I'm working on an iOS mapping app.

Hope to see you there!

Update 1

I've been at it for a few hours and going to call it a night. No one joined me :( but I'll be back tomorrow. We used to do this a lot for 3D modelling at it's a lot of fun, plus that whole two heads are better than one thing. So if you are interested leave a comment and I'll try and arrange something permanent.

Before I get started, code is here: https://github.com/nickelpro/spock

Hey guys, for the past couple months I've been spending some free time working on a project I call MCSpockbot, Spock for short. Spock is a Python framework for creating bots that play Minecraft. At the moment it has (IMHO) a very clean implementation of the Minecraft protocol, authentication, and plugin loading.

Now that I've got those fundamentals down, I'm looking to move forward in providing developers with very simple APIs for creating bots that can intelligently interact with Minecraft worlds. That means pathfinding, crafting, entity interactions, etc. Basically all the hard stuff.

If this sounds at all interesting to you, I'd love to hear from you. Just email me ([email protected]) or better yet, dive into the code and submit a pull request for something. If it's decent work or at least interesting you're welcome to have commit access.

EDIT: Oh ya, testers would also be welcome. Spock should support Windows but I don't know anyone who actually runs it on Windows. So I'm never sure if my changes have broken Windows support or not

I'm a developer with over 20 years of experience, and I'm developing a productivity app for iOS and Mac. The business logic is written and debugged, and the core functionality is done. It provides a very useful function that no other app seems to, and with a target market willing to pay for software that makes their lives easier.

My problem is that I am not particularly good at creating UIs, and a bad UI will kill an iPhone app. I would love to find a partner to handle that side of things while I finish feature development. I'm itching to get this app out the door - I really think it has serious market potential.

I've looked into hiring a development firm, but (understandably) they all want payment up front. I'm self funded, so this isn't an option - I need a partner who is willing to work for a (significant) share of revenue.

Any iOS/Mac developers with a knack for creating nice interfaces interested in building something great?

hey all, i'm 5 months into my javascript program. just got past the section on higher order functions, including map, filter, reduce. closures is my next section.

what's been super valuable to me is gathering people and coding together on zoom in silence. i've got a group of folks already, some working professionals and some noobies like me. everyone helps each other out and give feedback on our code.

i'm looking for more chill people who are coding daily/regularly to organize with. if you're interested comment below and i'll message you! would love to code together . ✌️
