Recently, I launched a repo which contains common code snippets in as many languages as possible: github.com/jrg94/sample-programs

You may be familiar with similar projects like The Hello World Collection and Rosetta Code. It's the same idea, but I'm just doing it to learn about different languages and their features.

Feel free to help contribute! I write an article for every code snippet, and you'll get credit for your contributions. :)

This is really cool!
I previously created a syntax-theme for Atom and having something like this would have been really helpful when checking the language-specific highlighting for languages that I'm not as familiar with.

That's also really cool!

I'm wondering if anyone wants to start a WordPress plugin using this repo, so I can have nice highlighting on my website as well. haha

I don't have any experience with WordPress, but I've used codemirror and highlight.js for syntax-highlighting on websites in the past so I'd be happy to contribute if someone got things started.

I also really enjoyed the post you linked in the README about the coolest programming languages features!

I've created a website called RealKotlin.com that aims to teach people Kotlin tips on a weekly basis.

It's great for newcomers or existing Kotlin developers as the language has a lot of syntactic sugar people just don't realise exist.

To contribute, you just have to write some code and unit tests here. Yeah, I said code and unit tests, and the system generates all the Markdown posts that go into the main website.

Send me a PR with each one of your tips and they will get published soon and sent to a bunch of Kotliners.

Want to work on a compiler? A new language? And have some fun while doing it? Then Leaf is for you. :)

That's the game I'm creating in the language. It ensures the language is becoming useful, and also just shows off a bunch of game writing concepts (in a simple form).

If you just want to watch, follow me on Twitch

Yet another language to add to the collection! Cool stuff. Are there any official docs, so I can get a look at the syntax?

Other than the features on the site, with some examples, there isn't much for docs yet. I've been focusing on getting the compiler's main features done... though I guess it's hard to somebody to contribute with no idea where I am. I'll add docs to my list.

I just create a simple project to develop my own react component ui (a simple
storybook alternative) and it's so useful in many use cases.
github.com/yjose/parcel-story

Now, we need some help to create a simple CLI to start a project with parcel-story ?
we use parceljs as js bundler !

DashboardHub is my startup and is completely transparent and open source! Only in the Alpha stage at the moment, but all feedback / thoughts / ideas welcome :)

Your Delivery Pipeline overview in One Place. If you are delivering a platform or a library, know exactly WHAT, WHEN and WHERE are being built and deployed, by reporting back to your Pipeline Dashboard (currently in Alpha) on DashboardHub.

Hello friends!

I've been working on a library for Android to simplify Notification delivery using fluent APIs written in Kotlin. It's called Notify and could definitely use your contributions -- whether that by way to writing code, tests and/or documentation or simply by pointing out issues.

A taste of the syntax:

Notify
    .with(context)
    .content { // this: Payload.Content.Default
        title = "New dessert menu"
        text = "The Cheesecake Factory has a new dessert for you to try!"
    }
    .show()

Basic usecase

The best part is that even though it is still being developed it doesn't mean that you are restricted to functionality. The APIs expose the NotificationCompat.Builder object and allow you to continue to build the notification as you would without the library!

You can check out/star the project at github.com/Karn/notify, and feel free to create issues and/or ping me either here or on GitHub!

I have been working with a friend on an Image Conversion/Transformation server, ideal for resizing and generating responsive images. Written in PHP, inside a docker, just build and deploy. On the smallest Digital Ocean droplet, it takes 5 min to be running. But there is a lot left to do. We have very high coverage, but there are a lot more tests to write. There are a bunch of issues open, docs to be written.

At least try it out and file bugs, that is great too.

Also use cases are very welcome.

I've recently been working on a D3 plugin for creating reactive charts and graphs in VueJS. If this is something that grabs you feel free to fork it, add some additional visualizations, maybe help refactor the code, and submit a PR. Cheers:
