Yeah, it's clear there's more of a need to self-advertise than to talk about programming. The former kills the latter so all coding boards end up having rules about it. Especially now with AI taking over coding there's much more of a need to release than to get built. Maybe you'd need two sections, one for releases and one for discussion, but then you'd either have to centralize all user releases across VOGONS here, which ends up drowning everything, or it'd end up as a dumping ground for miscellaneous small things, which who cares about to be an audience for. So then maybe you only have a forum for discussions about programming with no releasing allowed, but just how much of a need for it is there.

I'm working on wire-level circuit simulator - you can connect each wire of each chip together just like on a breadboard, but in code and then run your machine. The purpose is to build 6502 or Z80 based computers virtually and interactively use and test them before building them physically.
I would love to share it in an appropriate "programming" section.

That's a good example and surely an interesting design for many participants.
