This is one in a whole bunch of posts I’ve seen on here to the effect of “the community should band together and create this cool thing.”
Historically, has this ever worked?
Seems like by definition the people who are on here a lot (and therefore likely to see the post) are the people who are either:
Posting a lot to promote some cool project they’re already working on.
or
Posting a lot because they tend be types who are big on talk and small on action.
It doesn’t seem like either type would be great to recruit to build a new project. Rather, if this is something you think is valuable, I’d work on creating it yourself.
In the longer term I might—I didn’t actually expect anything to come of this post. But there’s just so many ideas of projects that I have that it is worthwhile to put ideas out there and see what criticisms people have and the general level of interest before I decide what to work on.
