       | This is nice. I had an idea to create a website for a "coders
       | toolbox" for myself and others to contribute general
       | functionality with brief documentation. Not a library; I need to
       | copy and paste code and then modify it for my needs.
       | 
       | I've been learning SFML and the lack of direct code examples has
       | been infuriating. Resources are explained in English (so
       | paragraphs when a few lines of code would suffice), and the
       | forums are 2/3 full of arrogant "we're not going to help you,
       | just read the reference" posts, and are mostly outdated.
       | 
       | All I want(ed) to see is small code snippets for e.g. "get mouse
       | position in map coordinates", "display text on the screen", "zoom
       | on mouse position", "get mouse position in window/view
       | coordinates", "create a gui box and determine size by text and
       | center the text", "how to zoom without graphical glitches"

       | This looks really good. I might even contribute. Is it actively
       | developed?

         | Yes! The community is quite active right now.
