A HackClub YSWS about pitching and making interesting projects.
What do we count as interesting? In short I like Hacker News's definition: "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity". Which means you get to decide, if you find it piques your curiosity then it has a place here.
It's fairly simple, in the first week you'll pitch an idea.
Palatine Hill:
Pitch
Then vote on pitches based on what you find interesting.

Every post will get added as a Slack thread for people to discuss, follow, and post updates.
After the first week idea submissions will close, one day after that voting will close and your points will be locked in.
The coolest pitches, if made and shipped will get currency to spend on prizes. How do we determine if you're project was shipped? We ask your voters.
Palatine Hill:
Determine an course of action
Was "Adding eval to Rust" shipped?

Failure is a part of learning, we get that. If you would like to pivot at any time, you can call a vote. It's up to your voters to determine if your pivot or ship is as cool or cooler then the original pitch.
Palatine Hill:
Determine an course of action
Can "Adding eval to Rust" pivot to "Writing a Rust superset with classes"?

In either case only a majority is needed for the decision to be made.
