Something different than the usual todo, chat,… kind of thing.   \r\n**What I had in mind:**\r\nA while ago I discovered [svgporn.com](http://svgporn.com/), basically a website full of high quality SVG logo’s for developers (bummer, no real porn…).\r\nWe could use those to make some kind of mini-game: _How good of a developer are you?_  \r\n**How it could work:**\r\nA user clicks: “start the test”. After a short countdown the first random logo appears and another clock starts to count down from eg. 60 seconds. There is one input field where the user has to correctly guess the framework or dev tool. He can either be correct, wrong or he can pass the logo. Correct = extra 5 seconds, every wrong guess = minus 3 seconds, pass = minus 5 seconds.\r\nThe goal of the game is to survive as long as possible. In the beginning we show easy ones (github, html5,…) but the more the user progresses the harder it gets. (infer, Rollup.js,…).  \r\n**Why this?**\r\n- it would be a great learning experience: a combo of realtime, rest, frontend, social authentication… resulting into a simple but entertaining product. We could make some video tutorials or blog posts about the process.\r\n- It could give feathers.js some exposure, we brand the game like this: “Built with Feathers.js, learn how.”.\r\n- Every developer would like to know how many dev tools he could guess and compare it to his peers. There could be tweets like: “I just survived 1min15s on How good of a developer are you. Try to beat me here www.…”\r\n- Could be shared on product hunt. Not the end goal though..\r\n\r\nTo summarize, Feathers gets a new demo app, might have some online exposure, new tutorials or blog posts, a fun game to play, … \r\n\r\n**To wrap up:**\r\nI could help with:\r\n- Design, css, concept.\r\n- Video tutorials: I have a photography, video, animations,… background.\r\n\r\nAs I am new to Feathers (I come from Meteor) I would need help with:\r\n- backend in feathers.js\r\n\r\nPlease let me know what you think and if you would be willing to help. Let’s make this a cool Feathers community effort.\r\n\r\nAny ideas/opinions are welcome…\r\n\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/feathersjs/feathers/issues/comments/214423544","html_url":"https://github.com/feathersjs/feathers/issues/311#issuecomment-214423544","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/feathersjs/feathers/issues/311","id":214423544,"user":{"login":"roelvan","id":2583837,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2583837?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/roelvan","html_url":"https://github.com/roelvan","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/roelvan/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/roelvan/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/roelvan/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/roelvan/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/roelvan/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/roelvan/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/roelvan/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/roelvan/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/roelvan/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-04-25T16:14:22Z","updated_at":"2016-04-25T16:14:22Z","body":"Thanks for the reply.
