Show & Tell
A community for developers to share personal projects of any size or polish. Anything software/firmware/hardware.. ALL THE WARES!!
Side projects, experiments, learning builds, half-finished ideas — all welcome.
Explain what you built, why you built it, and what you learned.
Give feedback if you can. Ask for feedback if you want.
Rules
- Personal projects only (no company or paid product marketing)
- Include context: what it is, what tech you used, what you learned
- Be constructive and respectful
- No spam or referral farming
- Feedback is encouraged, not mandatory
- Mark NSFW content clearly
- If you see a project you like and you think is cool consider giving it a star!
AI Rules
Guys it's 2026, if you're not using AI at this point you're falling behind. That being said this community is not for showing off AI prompts that you put into gh Copilot or Claude or whatever, all that's showing the world is "hey I know how to make something up and explain it in 20 words while having the expectations of a team who gives a shit! Woow look at me!!".
So do your best to disclose where/how/why you used AI in your code, and if you suspect a project is entirely AI generated slop,, don't engage, don't bully, just let them eat their foot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Icon and Banner were generated using ChatGPT, they're placeholders as of 1/20/26, will replace them with real art soon! https://chatgpt.com/share/696fa8bc-f3e0-8012-b6d7-350a8b53a0e1

MODERATORS
Welcome : ) programmers 😄 let hear what do you think
Welcome, "programmer"!
Thank you! You asked what do I think.
Well, I think that you support the following:
- 1. Devalue artists work;
- 2. Atrophy developers' experience;
- 3. Enshitificate the overall web-dev;
- 4. Deface and obliterate someone's effort put into the modelss datasets;
I think that there are lovely magnificent systems already, for more than a decade, with huge Communities and love shared, you could support instead. For example, the most recent I donated to:
- CodePen, who stands for artistic, and creativity;
- StackBlitz (you can disable the opt-in awful Bolt LLM);
- JsFiddle (though, they were political once, they thankfully stopped being naive);
Yet you chose to atrophy the miracle known as an accountable , individualistic, creative, infinitely marvelous human handcrafted development, to achieve and discover...
Not to mention that I do not trust you, knowing that you will use my contribution to teach your models/system you build.
And, to clarify, sorry, I would never, and won't feed your models and pay you for that, too.
