Is there a place where you can request code reviews on opensource software? (programming.dev)

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.

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.

Kinda sounds like a format similar to Stack Exchange might work

Just remove everything as a duplicate?

There actually is a Stack Exchange community for code reviews: https://codereview.stackexchange.com/
