Still my favorite personal project: https://github.com/timdorr/-

Under what license is this published?

Yes

I'd submit a pull request, but I don't want to mushroom your code complexity.

Not sure I understand, is it hard to commit no changes?

It’s art, the point is not to perform a difficult technical task.

git commit —-allow-empty -m „nope“

Copy of https://github.com/kelseyhightower/nocode which has been around a lot longer with additional humour in the Issues section.

I believe the repo linked in the post is actually quite different, converting Python to runnable whitespace.

Yep, this project credits inspiration from Kelsey’s repo on the linked page.

Spoiler: it encodes your code with two zero width utf characters

So I'm not crazy to think that this project does nothing. (or at at least very little)

It’ll help keep PRs short

Can you make it so I don't have to run it, though?

It runs automatically in the cloud.

It does way more than a true No Code solution would.

would like a word! /s
