One thing I always feel this forum is missing is a section for
work in progress projects, even if they never end up anywhere.
Right now people are shy about their projects, so the only way
you learn about them is by finding mentions of them such as
these, when they're released on DUB repository or when someone
makes an announcement post on Announce. The problem with
Announce is that people only use it for official releases - and
that's good - but we're missing out on all the work in progress
buzz.

I'd really love a "Projects" section here on these forums, with
perhaps sections for "WIP" and "Releases", so that people can
post all the cool stuff they are working on for others to see.
I'd also really like this to be a thing.

But what I think would be really cool though is like an
internal twitter... no size limit but also a culture that
there's no expectation for length and quality. Just casual
"think out loud" or in-progress project updates that can split
into chat.
I could write that in a few hours. then blog about it omg. but
the hard part
isn't technical, it is just getting people to actually use it.
Mastodon instance? But if you do create an ad-hoc service, I'd
very much use it if you didn't necessitate registration with an
email.
