Getting 800 people to make a website
summary
Claims that an open call nets 800 people actually yields 821 contributors who submit 1571 pull requests to a plain HTML/CSS repo with no build steps. Tools: GitHub for PRs/issues and the GitHub API (rate‑limit headaches), a script that screenshots every commit to make a timelapse, and simple client JS for games and a countdown. Outcome: a collaboratively built website with surprising features, many manual merges and closed issues, and ultimately mobile friendly behavior.
