css-only-chat is a proof-of-concept demonstration that implements a functioning chat interface using only HTML and CSS, without any JavaScript or backend logic. The project showcases creative use of CSS selectors, checkboxes, labels, and the :checked pseudo-class to mimic interactive behaviors normally handled by JavaScript. Messages are pre-written in the HTML and displayed based on user interaction, making it more of a playful experiment than a real messaging platform. Its main purpose is to illustrate the limits of CSS as a programming and UI tool, serving as both an educational example and a bit of humor within the developer community. By pushing CSS beyond its conventional role, it demonstrates how user interfaces can be simulated through styling tricks and static structures. Although not suitable for production use, it stands as a fun exercise in front-end creativity and unconventional coding challenges.

Discourse is a modern, open-source discussion platform that rethinks forum software with an emphasis on civilized, long-lived conversations and community moderation at scale. It replaces dated bulletin-board paradigms with features like real-time updates, infinite scrolling, rich text composition, and progressive trust levels that let communities delegate moderation as members demonstrate good behavior. On the administrative side, Discourse provides powerful moderation tools—flagging, bulk actions, user silencing, and automated throttles—plus robust spam defenses and analytics to surface community health signals. The platform is extensible: a plugin system and well-documented APIs let organizations add integrations (SSO, chat bridges, badges, embeds) and tailor behavior without hacking core code.

Letter Opener is a Ruby development utility that previews outgoing email in a web browser instead of sending it. It helps developers test layouts, content, and delivery behavior without configuring a real mail server or risking accidental messages. In Rails, it works as an Action Mailer delivery method and stores generated messages locally. Developers can customize the storage directory, browser-opening behavior, message template, and file URI scheme. The gem also supports non-Rails setups using Mail, Pony, or Action Mailer directly. Because it relies on a local browser through Launchy, remote servers, containers, and virtual machines may require adjusted settings or alternative mail-preview tools.

if-me.org is a community for mental health experiences that encourages people to share their personal stories with trusted allies. Trusted allies are the people we interact with on a daily basis, including friends, family members, co-workers, teachers, and mental health workers. Dealing with mental health is what makes us human. But for a lot of us, it's a struggle to be open about it. Not everyone is a counselor or therapist. The people who we interact with every day shape our emotions and behavior. Getting them involved in mental health treatment is the key to recovery. The live site can be found at if-me.org. The live design systems can be found at design.if-me.org. We use the wonderful Contributor Covenant for our code of conduct. Please read it before joining our project.
