OpenChaos.dev

openchaos.dev

A self-evolving open source project. Each week, the community votes on PRs, and the top-voted one is merged.

The website IS the repo. The repo IS the website.

How It Works

1. Anyone submits a PR
2. Community votes via reactions on the PR:

• 👍 (Thumbs Up) counts as +1
• 👎 (Thumbs Down) counts as -1

3. Every Saturday at 19:00 UTC, the most-voted PR gets merged
4. Vercel auto-deploys
5. Repeat forever

Rules

• Vote: Add a 👍 reaction to support a change, or a 👎 reaction to oppose it
• Highest Score Wins: The winner is determined by (Total 👍) - (Total 👎)
• Ties favor the New: If scores are equal, the newest PR (created most recently) wins
• Must have rhyming words: Only PRs that contain two rhyming words in the title are eligible for merge (e.g., "botch" and "watch")
• CI must pass: If the build fails, the PR is not eligible
• Minimum 10 net votes: PRs need at least 10 net votes to be eligible. If nothing qualifies, nothing merges that week.
• No merge conflicts: PRs with conflicts at merge time are skipped; the next highest PR wins
• No malware: Maintainer can reject obviously malicious content
• Note on RULES.md: The RULES.md file is deprecated and no longer maintained. All current rules are documented here in the README.
• Any time the maintainer pushes code to main without following the community voting process indicated above, he must post to his X account "I'm a naughty boy" with a link to the Github commit page.

What Can Be Changed

Everything. Including these rules.

Someone could submit a PR that:

• Changes the UI completely
• Adds a whole new feature
• Removes something
• Adds a backend/database
• Turns it into a game

If it passes CI and gets votes, it can win.
