Let's get rid of the Projects post limit as well
We got rid of the Ask post limit half a year ago. It's been great. Now let's do Projects. [more inside]
How supportive/critical to be in MeFi Music/Projects commentary?
To be clear, I don't plan on eviscerating anyone, but I do wonder if there's an existing "if you don't have anything good to say..." status quo. I've never been active in either, and don't have a feel for it. Personally I *hate* having my work presented in an insincere critical environment, and prefer to both give and receive "something good/something bad" style comments. I'm particularly concerned about MeFi Music, because 1) I've experienced sensitivity re: my own music 2) It's music! It's arbitrary!
...but you hold back development by having people blow smoke up your soundhole.
Permission to brag
As we all limit human contact to help contain the pandemic, nearly all of us have hobbies and abilities lying fallow or getting very limited use. But, those in this position probably have great past work which will be new to people here and will generate the same sort of delight and interest as much of what's on MeFi. So - what have people done that's great that others can see online? Link and take a bow. [more inside]
COVID-19, Domestic Edition
Lately I've seen many a fine recipe, sewing pattern and/or general quarantine project idea gracing various COVID threads on the blue, green, and grey. I thought it would be nice to have someplace central to store and chat about that sort of thing. So, are you doing something amazing or hilarious or at least vaguely interesting with your home-bound time? Building something new, cooking or baking something awesome (or at least awesomely terrible?) Reading or watching something that makes you happy?
Whatever you're doing with yourself to make your lockdown time a little less stressful, share it here.
Updating the MeFi Projects subsite guidelines
Hey, so, MetaFilter Projects! It's one of my favorite parts of the site, where members can post and share their personal creative work. And we've done a little work to update the posting guidelines there, to try and make it a little more clear and generous about what's a good fit. Come on in for details! [more inside]
New subsite idea: theveryidea.metafilter.com
It would be a complement to Jobs and Projects - a place for Mefites to post ideas that they, personally, are not going to use, and thus make them freely available for other creative and talented Mefites to run with. [more inside]
Remove voting from MeFi Projects
I think voting should be removed from MeFi Projects. What do others think? [more inside]
Blue posts for deep sea green posts should link to deep sea green posts
On August 27, avoision made a self-post on the deep sea green about his Villanelle Bot.
On August 30, oakroom made a post about the Vinalle Bot on the blue, but didn’t go through projects when posting the link. Because of this, there’s no “official” indication that the two are linked: no highlighting on Projects, no little link to the project at the end of the FPP.
I think if a mod discovers the link post-facto or if a mefite tells the mod about the link, they should add these formal connections. It seems like good style, and a good way to increase attention for community members doing cool things. [more inside]

MetaFilter wordbot jam?
Podcast 103 talked about doing a MetaFilter Twitter wordbot jam thing of some kind and I think that would be super fun. [more inside]
Open For Business
I just realized that MeFi project threads never close. Is that intentional? Why aren't other threads like that?
A Mefi place for project collaborations
There's been a few discussions here regarding MeFite project collaborations, and a placeholder Wiki listing page came out of it. It hadn't been active since, so I decided to add on to it to put it in line with the music collaboration listing, and create some awareness/discussion for it here. I'm guessing this could be useful for media such as art, writing, video, and podcasting.
Metafilter-Youtube Rolling Playlist
Oh noes! The automatically generated youtube channel for metafilter videos doesn't seem to be working anymore... [more inside]
85: Silk Road 2.0
This month's podcast was recorded on October 7th and runs about an hour and forty minutes long, covering most of September's best posts, projects, and questions from the site. [more inside]
Look you don't have to give me money but I just wanted, oh, nevermind...
What's the deal with Projects and crowdfunding? [more inside]
Don't worry about the vase, Neo.
The Oracle of MeFi is a curated tumblr of "intelligent, insightful, funny or otherwise interesting comments from all over MeFi," created by Foci of Analysis. Via Projects. [more inside]
Missing out on Projects?
I've looked at the Projects section maybe once or twice during my time in the Metaverse; am I missing out on anything solid these days?
include Projects in duplicated link/tag search for FPPs
Could the duplicated link/tag search for FPPs also include Projects? [more inside]
URLs on projects
Clarification about Projects (not on the FAQ): do projects need an external URL? [more inside]
Nascent projects
I'm in the very early stages of developing a web app. Its not close to being ready for MeFi projects, imo, but I'd love to get some MeFite feedback on what I have so far! What is the proper channel for something like this?
Peddle Your Wares Elsewhere
I'm fairly certain that Matt has to approve posts in the Projects section, so I'm unsure of how this post made the cut. The user has only one other contribution from earlier today and it's related to the site he's pushing.

One is the loneliest DJ
So what does a guy have to do to get a listening room rockin' around here? I'd like to revive memebake's listening room for MeFites if anyone else is interested. [more inside]
Posted, but not marked
Jezztek's wonderful Monsters of Grok site in Projects got posted to the front page but not via the "post this to mefi" button. Is there a way to get it marked as such anyway? [more inside]
Fabulous Edible Spam Creations
I was wondering if the powers that be had given any thought recently to perhaps raising the admission price for Projects. (You know, now that Metafilter rules Google and all...) [more inside]
MeFi Projects sans Web
Is there a place to post non-web projects that we have been working on somewhere in MeFi? [more inside]
Problem With Projects
When I try to post something directly from Projects it doesn't work. I click on the 'Preview' or 'Post' buttons the page loads, it says 'Waiting for Metafilter' and 'Waiting for Google Analytics' on the bottom, and than nothing happens. I'm using the latest version of Firefox.
Invitation to betatest
So, back in January, a bunch of us hung out in Listening Room and it was groovy but the unilateral 'remove' option caused quite some graar. This led to some of us thinking about rolling our own versions ... [more inside]
Congrats to our most newly published author!
Post-Apocalypse Dead Letter Office first appeared in Projects, but now you can find it on Amazon. Congrats to cog_nate on his first novel!
Calling all Kickstarter Projects
Kickstarter recently started a "Curated Pages" feature where organizations and sites can show off member projects (here's the Creative Commons one for an example). They recently put me in charge of a "MetaFilter" curated projects page and I know I've seen dozens of mefites fund projects on Kickstarter in the past, but if anyone is currently running a project there, let me know and I'll add you to our page and share the URL when we have a few projects listed.

Posted to MeFi indicator for Projects page
A tiny pony request for Projects: could there be an indication on the Projects page when a project has been posted to MeFi? I know the detail page has a "This project was posted to MetaFilter by..." but unless you wish to comment, you'll never see it. [more inside]
Never Make Promises. Or Even Vague Suggestions Of Half-Formed Ideas.
So did butterstick and cortex et al ever get around to giving us their Dark Horse Aliens comic book summaries, as promised in this thread and specifically here, here, here, here and here? [more inside]
this is faaaantastic.
Just featured on All Things Considered it's mefi's own: jedicus and valkyryn and their blog: The Law and the Multiverse. Previously discussed here and here.
And this all started over here at mefi projects. [more inside]
Mix Party!
This was mentioned in the comments section of a metatalk thread about Listening Room, but our very own Narwhal Bacon has released the source for a (far superior, imo) clone of it called Collaborative Jukebox. There is a room open right now for mefites at MixParty.org [more inside]
What a tangled web we weave
yourcelf's snazzy new GraphFi bookmarklet makes catching up with long threads a breeze. [more inside]
Kickstarting in the blue
Did I miss something? Kickstarter solicitations are not approved by No. 1 in Projects, but posting someone else's Kickstarter idea in the blue is OK? Even the protagonist of the project seems to be surprised. [more inside]
When is a project ready to be posted to projects?
I'm somewhat new to metafilter, and am working on something that I would like to post to projects, but don't want to do so prematurely. [more inside]
Show That It's Awesome On the List, Not Just the List Item
Duck request (because horses scare me). Some sort of indication on the main projects page telling me if a project was posted to the blue. [more inside]
My friend's really cool thing ≠ a post to projects
Aren't projects for something that you've done and not a way to show off someone else's stuff? [more inside]
Ouroboros is a cat.
Lute Cat (not to be confused with Zither Cat) began life as a deletion reason on the blue, was briefly batted about on the grey, was then auctioned off for charity, and is now residing in Projects, ready to be purchased and taken home. Oh won't you love him, Mefi.
Project Help Pony
Could there be a Project Help sub-sub-site? I envision something akin to Music Talk where folks can post their Kickstarter campaigns, requests for collaboration, brainstorm sessions, etc. [more inside]
Blogpost Project Entry?
In the Post to Projects screen, it warns: "...so please try to keep it limited to launching new projects and please don't use the space to link to a blog entry or an essay you wrote." [more inside]
Projects + Tags = Good?
It seems like Projects should have tags. We could then see a list of "similar things MeFites work on." Is this something being worked on? If not, how come? Just curious.
I think we didn't get cut off
There seems to be a minor cosmetic bug in the Recent Favorites list. [more inside]
In other breaking news, Hurricane Katrina. Wow.
So the first MeFi Projects post was four and a half years ago. Isn't it time to change this copy? [more inside]
Can I bump my project?
Repost to projects? Kosher? [more inside]

Vote history username bug
A bug in Projects: clicking on the usernames in someone's vote history leads to a 404 every time.
I'm unable to comment in Projects
I can't post a comment to Projects. OSX 10.5.7 Safari 4.0.1 and Firefox 2.0.0.14. The comment previews okay but after hitting post it returns an empty text input box and no comment is posted.
