Future of Coding is an online community with a welcoming, cooperative, and revolutionary spirit. We are unified in the belief that the common practice of programming is tragically less humane than it could be.

A couple of years ago, I noticed how Juan Benet (founder of IPFS) was keeping <https://github.com/jbenet/random-ideas/issues|a list of random software engg ideas> in a github repo as issues. Since then I too started keeping my own list of "RFH"s ("Request for Hacks") - similar to Request for Comments and Request for Startups - here: <https://codeberg.org/nilesh/request-for-hacks/issues> and recently made it public.

Posting ideas in a place where public discussion can take place seems like an excellent way to get open feedback or review. I encourage other programmers to do the same. Perhaps, `/&lt;username&gt;/request-for-hacks` can become a standard way to discover these. :slightly_smiling_face:

Nice. I somehow always find these lists inspiring. Another one I stumbled upon a couple years back had an idea for an actually useful browser history. That has stuck with me ever since. 

From yours, <@U018S42NMMM>, these have gotten into my big list of big ideas: 

• [RFH 16 Digital Identity](<https://codeberg.org/nilesh/request-for-hacks/issues/16|https://codeberg.org/nilesh/request-for-hacks/issues/16>)
• [RFH 20 - Authy-like app but with virtual FIDO built-in for WebAuthn support #20](<https://codeberg.org/nilesh/request-for-hacks/issues/20|https://codeberg.org/nilesh/request-for-hacks/issues/20>)
• [RFH 3 - An "defensive" Web browser for site advisory / safe browsing](<https://codeberg.org/nilesh/request-for-hacks/issues/3|https://codeberg.org/nilesh/request-for-hacks/issues/3>)
