The Showcase category is for projects, apps, services, hardware builds, scripts, magazines, websites, news, themes, and anything worth sharing with the community.
The goal is simple: make it easy for others to understand what you’ve built (or found) and decide if they want to try it.
For anyone sharing a project
At a minimum, your post should help members quickly answer three questions:
-
What it is
A clear, plain description of what you made, who it’s for, and what problem it solves. -
How it looks or behaves
Screenshot, photo, video, or demo link. -
How to try it
Be upfront. Is it a script, a hosted service, a downloadable binary, or a hardware build? Set expectations clearly.
If you’re sharing software:
- Link to source when possible (GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg, etc.) so members can review it
- If only binaries are available, say so and include checksums where possible
- State the license clearly, and keep it consistent across your site and repo
- Disclose unsigned binaries so users aren’t surprised by OS warnings
- Flag any grey areas (scraping tools, DRM-related tools, etc.) so people can make informed decisions
If you’re sharing something simpler (news, magazine, link), just add enough context so others know why it’s worth their time.
Low-detail posts may be hidden until more information is added.
For members browsing this category
Showcase posts are community submissions, not endorsements.
Treat anything you run or download the same way you would any small open-source project:
- Review source if available
- Verify checksums where provided
- Ask questions in the thread before trying if something is unclear
- Provide honest feedback and actionable suggestions
Posts may be temporarily closed or hidden if more detail is needed before wider engagement. This is not a rejection, just a step to ensure posts are clear, transparent, and safe for the community.
