I made a web app to showcase your GitHub projects.

Live Version
Source Code
Dev Article on how to set it up for your awesome projects

[Jean-Michel 🕵🏻‍♂️ Fayard]

Looks really cool.
I would like to have a separate section of projects that I have contributed to but are not directly my projects.

[Abhishek Keshri]

That sounds good, I might add it sometime, or wait for a PR 🤭

[Mahmoud EL-kariouny]

Great job :)

[Andreas Riedmüller]

I am working on a collection of simple shapes that can easily be configured and downloaded for 3D printing. The site is static and everything will be generated in the browser. I am using Gatsby and JSCAD and Strapi to manage the content.

stl.parts/

[Facundo Ayosa]

This is beautiful!
I have on my "To Do List" this exact project, but using CURA API to get the amount of filament it will need (in grams and in length), estimated printing time and (if possible) the amount of energy it will take.

[Andreas Riedmüller]

My mid-term vision is that I have a display next to my printer, choose a shape, enter some parameters and click print. I think I can do that with Octoprint and a Slicer plugin. Is the Cura API online or do I need a Cura printer for that?

[TechMan09]

I think you need an Ultimater or Ultimater connected printer in order to use the print functionality with the API. I can’t seem to find a reference for slicing objects remotely, except for a forum post about a docket image (Linked below, although I’m sure you already saw it).

Integrating with a slicer and Octoprint would be cool though!

[TechMan09]

Spectacular! I will certainly be a user.

[Andreas Riedmüller]

Great, let me now when you use it. It’s super motivating to know if there is someone not me using it.

[TechMan09]

The documentation link is incorrect, otherwise I love the design and UI!

(How about a contact page)?

[Andreas Riedmüller]

Thank you! I updated the site to work with JSCAD V2 and the link should be up to date now. And there is a contact/imprint in the footer, forgot about this.

[TechMan09]

Did you get the email I sent from [e-mail] to mailto:[e-mail]?

[Andreas Riedmüller]

Yes, now I have it, it was in my spam folder. Thank you for your feedback, appreciate it!

[TechMan09]

Glad you got it!

You may want to create a filter so emails sent to *@stl.parts is not sent to spam.

[Andreas Riedmüller]

Yeah, that’s a good idea.

[Adam Crockett 🌀]

Primitive shapes to print I like the idea

[Joshua Greenway]

Oh…this is magic!

[Jean-Michel 🕵🏻‍♂️ Fayard]

$ goto considered helpful

$ goto is a CLI tool to quickly browse URLs specific to the current repository from the terminal and open them in your browser.

Since the URLs are stored in your repository (URLS.toml), the bookmarks are contextually relevant for your current project (link to issues, pull request, documentation website, wiki, libraries, ...). And they are shared with your colleagues.

Haven't released anything yet but I have a working prototype.

[Corentin Bettiol]

I thought about something similar, where you could store some """doc""" on a toml file, like useful commands, relevant websites. You could then push the toml file on a repo somewhere, and the app would be able to fetch different repos, creating a shared doc system that you can query & browse offline. No more heavy websites that don't even answer your question with this system.

I don't really know if I should try to work on it, because if there's no other user than me then I will just spend time on something that's not really useful for anyone (even for me, since I already have a notetaking program somewhere I can query).

[Jean-Michel 🕵🏻‍♂️ Fayard]

I'm not sure I quite understand, but when I'm wondering if it's worth building something, I do "README oriented programming". Meaning I try to write a compelling README, just the README, no code, and I show it to people to gauge interest.

[Thomas Bnt]

I'm enjoyed to develop a webpage with VueJS and the API of dev.to 💚

You can see that at

thomasbntdevto.netlify.app

[Andy Piper]

Nice, thanks for putting it on GitHub! I learned a lot about trying to get a Vue app to run on Replit as a result. Here's mine... (you didn't add a LICENSE so I hope this is OK, lmk if not!)

[Thomas Bnt]

Oh no problem ! It's super cool ! ✨🌱
And it's great that it helped one person to know more about VueJS!

Also thanks to credit me on top of the page 🤩👍🏼

[Andrew Bone]

I'm making a simple snake game just to have some unwinding coding time.

[Calin Baenen]

I'm making an Imut<T> for JavaScript/TypeScript.

import {Imut} from "./src/Imut.ts";

let dummy = new Imut({
  birth: [2000, 01, 01],
  name:  "John Doe"
});

dummy.birth             // [2000, 01, 01]
dummy.birth[0] = 1985;  // Error.
dummy.name              // "John Doe"

// Maps are an exception and act as sealed objects.
// This can be useful for allowing people to write
// and read the map but not add new properties.
let map =
  new Map().set("name", "")
    .set("description", "");

let data = new Imut(map);
data.name        = "Shrek";
data.description = "An epic dating back to 2000 about an ogre named Shrek.";

map.get("name")  // "Shrek"

[Aurélien Delogu]

Good initiative. But shouldn't it be spelled "Immut" with two "m"?

[Calin Baenen]

Yes, it should, but I committed it for a shorter, cleaner name.
Most people will probably understand the I with mut probably means "immut" anyways.

[Calin Baenen]

What do you (all) think?

[ecyrbe]

I made a middleware named stalier for backend in typescript for nestjs and express that applies stale while revalidate cache strategy like react-query but for backend to allow cross session caching. This way if you use your phone or your desktops browser the cache is shared.

[Vincent A. Cicirello]

Not exactly the kind of "project" you're looking for here, but....

Submitting DMCA takedown requests through Google's DMCA dashboard for all of my DEV posts that have been blatantly infringed by a site that appears to scrape DEV on a large scale, replacing random words in posts, presumably by a drunk bot by the sound of the result.

It is almost certainly same infringer as alluded to by @perssondennis in this post:

How To Report a Site That Steals Your Articles

I highly recommend reading Dennis's post above.

[Oscar]

I created a CLI tool to quickly create React/Vite/NextJs projects with Tailwind ready-configured. It's written in Rust and is config-file based so you can easily personalise it with dependancies which you regularly use!

You can install it on Mac with a single command:
brew tap ozcap/quick-init && brew install quick-init.

This is my first time building something with Rust. Feedback appreciated!!

JamComments is live! It’s a comment service specifically built for Jamstack blogs, emphasizing performance, SEO-friendliness, and privacy.

It was built in response to comment platforms like Disqus, which require you to bog down your site with a huge JavaScript bundle and then render comments client-side.

JamComments is built to accept new comments and then trigger a build of your site, so that comments are embedded directly within your site’s makeup — no big JS bundle required and everything’s easily crawlable by SERPs.
