OpenChaos is a self-evolving open source project. Anyone submits a PR, community votes with 👍 and 👎 reactions, and the highest net score gets merged every Sunday.
The twist: everything can be changed - including the rules themselves.
Week 1 results: 400+ stars, 70+ PRs, a dramatic "campaign dropout," and our first community-driven merge just shipped. Current PRs include "Rewrite it in Rust" and "IE6 mode, welcome back to GeoCities."
Built with Next.js. Governed by chaos.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I built OpenChaos in one night as an experiment: what happens when you let the internet control a codebase? Rules are simple: - Anyone submits a PR - Community votes with 👍 and 👎 - Highest net score ships every Sunday - Everything can change—including the rules Week 1 was wild. Someone tried to delete everything (failed CI). Someone dramatically withdrew their PR citing "big...

Hey ProductHunt! I launched OneDollarChat back in May, got 6 users, rage-quit, and deleted the database. Relaunched in September. Posted on Reddit Christmas Eve. Woke up to 200K+ views and a hacker with $21M balance. Instead of panicking, I leaned in. The hack became the story.

OneDollarChat is a global chat where every message costs $1. That's it.
On Christmas Day, someone exploited a vulnerability and gave themselves $21M. Their message: "meowww mrrp :3". I kept it.
Two days later, another hacker posted: "PLEASE FIX YOUR SUPABASE". Fixed in 20 minutes.
Now running a NYE race - first 3 messages of 2026 win permanent gold, silver, bronze (no links allowed for podium).
The chaos continues.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 Max here, founder of FlouState. For years, I felt like an imposter developer. I thought I spent majority of my time debugging instead of building. Every day felt like I was just fixing problems instead of creating value. Then I tracked my coding patterns for 30 days. The result? I only debugged 1% of my time. One percent. Turns out our brains are terrible at remembering how...
