Hey, everyone! We're looking for contributors to our opens-source projects.

One of them is Afterlogic WebMail Lite, fast and easy-to-use webmail client which can work with pretty much any IMAP/SMTP server. It offers built-in addressbook, OpenPGP support, authentication via Google, Facebook, powerful APIs and more.

We also offer Aurora Files, an open-source file storage platform for small teams and personal users. One of its key features is Paranoid Encryption which ensures that, even if someone has full access to the server, they still cannot access your data as decrypting can only be done in your browser.

Both the products are built on top of our Aurora framework which is about modular structure, making it fairly easy to add new features to the products. And we happily welcome third-party contributors. (How to contribute)

It would be great if there are any Javascript devs who want to fix issues in the doctoc repo such as this one that I just filed!

[Feature request, help wanted] Filter doctoc by number of lines in a file #152

jamesray1 avatar
jamesray1 commented on Aug 22, 2018

Filter doctoc, by default, to not add a ToC to files that are below 30 lines (20 lines would fit on a page on most screens); scrolling 10 lines is just about as easy as clicking on a link, then add a flag to change this number of lines.

I will circulate this to see if anyone has more time to work on this, and will add it to Pocket in case I can find time.

Also if there are any devs interested in working on building Ethereum 2.0, there is lots to do, e.g. building a bintrie for state storage. "Ethereum is a decentralized, self-contained economy for transactional computation and related data." I'm working on a gossipsub protocol as part of rust-libp2p, for more efficient p2p messaging, which will be able to used e.g. for IPFS, Ethereum, Polkadot, and other p2p networks!

Hi,
past month I've been creating Angular 6 File Manager (FM) compoment. Right now I'm looking for users / testers / contributors.

Why would you want to use it?
At time I did reasearch there wasn't many components like this one, especially in Angular 6. We needed many features in only one component with almost 0 setup.

FM is themeable, customizable, translatable, supporting drag and drop file uploads. All you need to do is put some config and connect it with your backend.

Any help is welcome!

Hi @costel ! Feel free to poke around project and write issues/feature requests or fix them. Currently I don't have any time for this project because I'm working on my Bachelor's thesis. I can find some real time for it in +/- 6 months. I'd like to create backend (mby node.js/express) for FileManger and improve its feautures. If you are still interested don't hesitate to reach me out.

DJ-Models

I recently created Dj-Models, which allows anyone to use the Django ORM in any sync Python web framework.

The project is a fork of Django, with all the irrelevant parts removed.

Features

  • Mix and match your favorite web tools e.g (Dj-Models + Flask + React)
  • Minimal configuration
  • All the great features of Django's Models:
    • Schema migrations
    • Declaritive models.
    • Beautiful Query API

Status

This project is not ready for prime time. Currently the only blocker is teaching DJ-Models where migration files should live.
