Many of us write opensource code in a void: nobody ever looks at it, uses it nor reviews it. We are the only users and authors.

In order to improve, where can we get our code reviewed? I don't mean professionally, just from like-minded individuals.

Just created a community request post for it https://programming.dev/post/6295144

If anyone is interested upvote the request and if anyone wants to mod it let me know

Edit: community has been made at !code_review@programming.dev

Would love something like this, but it's very hard to get such a community working. Most of the time there will be way more people wanting a review of their code than people wanting to put in the work and review something.

Maybe some kind of point system could work. Like one needs to review at least two times before you can get your work reviewed.

with that there would need some way for people to have things to initially review to get the community started. Could do something like after the first 3 posts the point system goes into effect

True, it's not a fleshed out idea haha. But starting with a few points would work.

Could actually be a cool in it self, wish I had time for something like that.

Something like c sharp acedemy would be kinda cool. Basically do some beginner projects with good code reviews you get a "belt". That belt allows you to review the beginner projects as you work on intermediate projects. Then you complete those and get another belt that let's you do advanced projects and review the intermediate projects others submitted.
