We will be moving our code to this repo on Wednesday:

thepracticaldev / dev.to

Where programmers share ideas and help each other grow


DEV

DEV Community 👩‍💻👨‍💻

The Human Layer of the Stack

ruby version rails version Travis Status for thepracticaldev/dev.to Skylight badge CodeTriage badge

Welcome to the dev.to codebase. We are so excited to have you. With your help, we can build out DEV to be more stable and better serve our community.

What is dev.to?

dev.to (or just DEV) is a platform where software developers write articles, take part in discussions, and build their professional profiles. We value supportive and constructive dialogue in the pursuit of great code and career growth for all members. The ecosystem spans from beginner to advanced developers, and all are welcome to find their place within our community. ❤️

Contributing

We encourage you to contribute to dev.to! Please check out the Contributing to dev.to


We still have a lot to learn about being an open source project and day 1 will probably be the most frenetic. But we strive to be a super welcoming project, of course. 🤗

Stars on the repo, while we wait, are very welcome. 🤩

MousePaw Media is looking for C++ and Python developers who are interested in working on unusual, cutting-edge libraries, tools, and games. Here's a look at a few of our current projects:

  • PawLIB 1.1: High-performance, memory efficient containers and utilities for the C++ language. We're expanding our testing library (Goldilocks), improving and expanding our data structures (Flex), making message output a delight again (IOChannel), and building a tool for streamlining the design of CLI interfaces (Blueshell).

  • Ratscript: A brand new language which seeks to combine an innovative, obvious syntax with a powerful combination of paradigms. Ratscript is being designed specifically for the next generation of game development. Takes cues from Python and Rust, among others.

  • Anari: A vector-based animation engine implemented in C++, allowing for memory-efficient interactive animations to be deployed onto old and new hardware alike.

  • We have three open source game projects in progress: Omission, Infiltrator, and DiamondQuest. All three are to be implemented in Python 3, likely using the Qt5 (PySide2) toolkit. (We're also looking for someone with art skills to help with DiamondQuest.)

Our Stack

  • C++14 (C++17 proposed)
  • Compilers: Clang and GCC
  • CMake
  • Python 3
  • Qt 5/PySide 2
  • CPGF
  • Eigen
  • Git
  • Phabricator

Getting Involved

See something you like? Jump right in! We have a robust development platform, centered around a carefully-honed Phabricator instance.

For more information, visit mousepawmedia.com/opensource or contact developers (at) mousepawmedia (dot) com. You can also find us (generally, me) on Freenode IRC at #mousepawmedia.

Hi pals. Parabol is looking open-source contributions in design, ReactJS, and NodeJS. Parabol is realtime, collaborative retrospective and check-in meeting software that helps development and business teams find their flow.

We're a bit different than many open-source projects in that routine contributors can qualify to receive valuable equity in our organization. We call the program Equity for Effort.

To get started contributing, pick an issue from our project board on GitHub and leave a comment on it. We'll help you get started from there.

Hi everyone, I'm building a nice modular interactive 2D drawing library.

It's similar to p5.js, but with the added benefit of real OOP. I hope it makes it more approachable for beginners and more extensive for veterans.

You can find more information here:

I also made a bunch of examples in a codepen collection.

I mainly looking for feedbacks from users, but I'm always open for new contributors.

So please, try it and tell me what you think about it.

Peace !
