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.

Would love something like this, but it's very hard to get such a community working. Most of the time there will be way more people wanting a review of their code than people wanting to put in the work and review something.

Maybe some kind of point system could work. Like one needs to review at least two times before you can get your work reviewed.

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

Kinda sounds like a format similar to Stack Exchange might work

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