A website for a small business (done free for family). Can use help with graphical design and tips for working with Angular 2
TIP #1: Use Vue.js
In all seriousness, generally you can use Bootstrap or similar to make a fairly good website quickly. I threw together climatemirror.org in a few hours.
intercoolerjs.org/ is marvelous for getting results quick, you should check it out!
What's your rational for preferring Vue over React?
Ease of use, time to pick up, docs, "hype" vs functionality, extensibility, which one of them had IDE support (Vue because it's not a new language), which one of them seemed the most sane. Those are what come to me off the top of my head, Vue is also faster (if it matters in a web app...) and can really be used as just a component if needed (without a need to learn a new language and use every precompiler under the sun).
I will note it doesn't have the same tooling, but since it's plain JavaScript so it's not a huge problem.
I'm currently working on the Climate Mirror project, which can use volunteers to help archive federal climate data. climatemirror.org
I'm also very interested in IPFS (ipfs.io) and its applications.
I'm working on a social podcast player - tung.fm. Looking for a co-founder, particularly someone who is an Android dev!
I'm always continuing my ongoing efforts to improve my Gift-Registry Web App, DoWant! (github.com/aaroneiche/do-want) It suffers from young-developer syndrome which makes it a little difficult to work through the various problems. I'm currently working on transitioning all the AJAX calls to proper REST endpoints.
I could always use more help with this. Unfortunately, I rarely have anyone jump on board (Probably because the code is a bit of a mess)
So I either could use help getting it off the ground, or I could use some help replacing it with a better system (probably written in Node)
I'm writing a set of python bindings to html5ever: github.com/tbodt/htmlpyever. If you need blazing fast, totally html5-compliant parsing in Python, check it out. It's currently in an unfinished state, but it'll be done at some point.
I'm working on findlectures.com. Currently working on improving the sections with technical talks (both more, and better content).
We built effingfight.com
Mission: Every month we donate to a different organization in jeopardy under a Trump administration. Organizations include Planned Parenthood, ACLU, Natural Resources Defense Council and many more.
It's mostly done but could use a bit of love on social media, Facebook, etc to spread the word.
I'm working on an open-source iOS App that allows you to easily inspect the certificate chain of any website.
It was released last summer, and is already fairly popular (especially in Russia). I would love it if you were able to take a look at the app, and suggest any features that you'd find useful. If you're comfortable working with Objective-C and OpenSSL, feel free to contribute to the project on Github!
App Website: certificate-inspector.com/
Github: github.com/certificate-helper/cert...
I started mentorleo.co a few weeks ago. I teach a friend (Léo) to be a web developer, and now we are starting a community with a few other Léos.
It could be awesome to have other developers (not only web) joining the community to give introduction courses to the Léos !
Working on an open source lightweight eventing library using a MsSQL or MySQL database for storage. Reasons for using this library, instead of existing tools like RabbitMQ, Kafka, etc can be costs, simplicity (you only need a database) and support for so-called ordered delivery (per functional key) that relieves event consumers from handling ordering related issues themselves. You can find it here.
I'm also working on a rest-api that runs cross-platform and accompanying docker images.
