I have enjoyed reading your solutions. It's great to see the language
used for somewhat realistic problems.
Will those of you with Project Euler solutions step up and showcase your
J? Just add to the ShareMyScreen page.

Any feedback would be appreciated, and if I don't get any, I'll just assume
I'm doing great job and continue as is ;).
As a side note: does anyone have code for downloading inputs directly? I
know it's possible, as there's a python package for that, but I wouldn't
know how to get httpget to use the authentication cookie from the website.

Since these are personal explanations of the programming
thought-process, I think it's proper that they be grouped by author
within each subject. I will put my name on my AoC contributions.
Jan-Pieter, you can create a section for yours.
Project Euler is widely known and annotated solutions would be just the
sort of thing I was looking for with this page. The annotation is what
the page is about: if you have a one-line solution you should expect to
take 20-80 lines of text explaining it and building it up with
examples. Writing the answer up will take quite a bit longer than
coming up with the solution!

I'd agree that examples are great, e.g., Rosetta Code is a great
compendium of programming language equiproblem solution comparisons. A
comma-delimited listing of would be too much, as there aren't that many J
active users, at least judging from the names I've seen past 2 years on the
general and programming mailing list.
Consider a table. Heading rows would be links to problems in ascending
order from advent of code (or projecteuler.net, or leetcode, ...).
Heading columns would be solution-contributing users' links (if such exist
on the jwiki). Cell would be either inline code hidden in a summary tag (in
HTML, or whatever wikis' equivalent of that is) or link to location of
those users' solutions, properly identified (id='...') to be more navigable
to-and-fro san scrolling. Inlining would be hellish on rendition, so
probably not.
I can contribute 45 projecteuler not great one-liners for whatever
that's worth.

Great initiative, Henry.
I'm considering gradually adding my versions.
How do you think it's best to structure this? One section per person
with a
list of pages for each problem, or put solutions of different persons
close
to each other?
My solutions are still a work in progress, though; currently solving
day 19.
Cheers,
Jan-Pieter

How do you convince someone that J is really different? Examples seem
contrived.
I am trying something new. I have used J to solve a suite of
programming problems posed by an impartial source, to wit Advent of
Code
2022. Tire-kickers can compare the J solutions against those in other
languages.
The pages are at https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/ShareMyScreen .
IF YOU ARE NEW TO J, you are the person I need to hear from. Where do I
need to add explanatory material, or rewrite a section?
IF YOU ARE AN OLD J HAND, consider adding your own programs. They can
be from any source as long as you make the solution comprehensible to a
novice.
I know several users on this list solved the AoC2022 problems;
alternative solution pages would be welcome.
