Masonite is always looking to grow the community. Masonite is a new Python web framework that has garnered a lot of attention in the past year. Nearly ~150 people in the Official Slack Channel and growing pretty fast. 680+ stars on github (adding a few per day) and a really warm and welcoming community overall.

I'm looking for folks to try out and provide feedback on our Python API client, apiron. You can read about the impetus and see the code in the links below!

Open sourcing apiron: A Python package for declarative RESTful API interaction

:fried_egg: apiron is a Python package that helps you cook a tasty client for RESTful APIs. Just don't wash it with SOAP.

apiron

apiron helps you cook a tasty client for RESTful APIs. Just don't wash it with SOAP.

Gathering data from multiple services has become a ubiquitous task for web application developers The complexity can grow quickly calling an API endpoint with multiple parameter sets calling multiple API endpoints, calling multiple endpoints in multiple APIs. While the business logic can get hairy, the code to interact with those APIs doesn't have to.

apiron provides declarative, structured configuration of services and endpoints with a unified interface for interacting with them.

Defining a service

A service definition requires a domain and one or more endpoints with which to interact:

from apiron.service.base import Service
from apiron.endpoint import JsonEndpoint

class GitHub(Service):
    domain = 'https://api.github.com'
    user = JsonEndpoint(path='/users/{username}')
    repo = JsonEndpoint(path='/repos/{org}/{repo}')

Interacting with a service

I have two projects that could use some help with.

The first is an open source GTD style todo list application called Tracks. It's more than 10 years old, but it's useful to a lot of people and I'm hoping some lovely people will come along and help me maintain it. Tracks is in need of code and design contributions, but any contribution at all would be incredibly welcome.

The second is a bit more well known. Jekyll. Jekyll is a large project, with many repositories, and the core team (which is currently me and three others) could use some help. We're working towards a 4.0 release and simply don't have enough people power to get all the things done we want to get done in a reasonable timeframe. Jekyll is in need of code contributions specifically, but again, any contribution at all would be incredibly welcome.

Thanks for reading! ❤

Php Hot Reloader

A single class to provide a lightweight Hot Reloader feature to PHP traditional projects without built-in Servers, Listeners or Sockets. Is compatible with frameworks like cake, laravel and codeIgniter. Required skills: php and javascript.

About: This class adds a live reload feature to any php project. It allows you to see your page dynamically changing while coding, without have to keep refreshing the browser on every change. By default, the script will turn your project tab reactive to changes in included/required files, css and js files related to the tab opened. Please see the "example" project on the sources. Every browser, every project, one single file.

wemake-services / wemake-python-styleguide

The strictest and most opinionated python linter ever!

wemake-python-styleguide

Welcome to the strictest and most opinionated python linter ever.

wemake-python-styleguide is actually a flake8 plugin with some other plugins as dependencies.

Installation

pip install wemake-python-styleguide

You will also need to create a setup.cfg file with the following contents.

This file is required to configure our linter and all 3rd party plugins it uses However, this is a temporary solution We are working at providing the required configuration for you in the future.

Running

flake8 your_module.py

This app is still just good old flake8 And it won't change your existing workflow.

See "Usage" section in the docs for examples and integrations.

What we are about

The ultimate goal of this project is to make all people write exactly the same python code.

Requirements

We have tasks for both newcomers and more experienced developers.

The code base is relatively simple. So, if you know python - you can jump right in!

Developer Experience

We care about providing good Developer Experience. So, you will have:

Almost 8000 unit and E2E tests with 100% test coverage
fully typed code with mypy
in-depth developer's documentation
friendly and welcoming community and any help you need from the project maintainers

ESFiddle - esfiddle.net

We are in the process of rewriting the frontend in React and the backend in Node and Typescript as well as a huge redesign and refocus into teaching.
The project is a bit influx at the minute as I do not have any time to work on the project (family stuff), so I am looking to hand this over to someone or help any contributors who would like to contribute.

If you are looking for something to contribute to that is a bit meatier than just updating docs or tests, then this is the project for you.

Feel free to raise an issue on github if you are having trouble getting started.
github.com/esfiddle/site - repo for the frontend
github.com/esfiddle/api - repo for the backend

Hi Josh,

I would like to contribute in your project. I am available to discuss further and will also set up the local environment.

Thanks.

J • Jan 23 '19

Great stuff! Thanks Ankit! Let me know how you get on. Our contributing guide should get you sorted :)

Wilfredo Pérez • Jan 22 '19

Wow!! Would be great!!! How can I contribute to this project? I'll check the repos checking how I can help.

Thanks.

J • Jan 23 '19

So the main way is to help out with the API if that is your expertise. Alternatively, if you'd like to dive in React, then there is a lot of work to do! github.com/esfiddle/site

The main thing on the site is to start work on the editor page. It should work similar to esfiddle.net! Let me know if you need any more help. Any thing you can do would be a massive help! :)

Sail is looking for contributors! There are various ways to get involved:

Completing the examples in the wiki
Suggesting new setting types
Giving general feedback about the gem
Getting involved in the profiles implementation (coming for version 3.0.0)

vinistock / sail

Sail is a lightweight Rails engine that brings an admin panel for managing configuration settings on a live Rails app

Sail

This Rails engine brings a setting model into your app to be used as feature flags, gauges, knobs and other live controls you may need.

It saves configurations to the database so that they can be changed while the application is running, without requiring a deploy.

Having this ability enables live experiments and tuning to find an application's best setup.

Enable/Disable a new feature, turn ON/OFF ab testing for new functionality, change jobs' parameters to tune performance, you name it.

It comes with a lightweight responsive admin dashboard for searching and changing configurations on the fly.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sail'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sail

Adding the following line to your routes file will make the dashboard available at <base_url>/sail

mount Sail::Engine => '/sail'

Running the install generator…

Note: dev.to is using Sail! Therefore, if you believe some feature would be useful here, open an issue with a feature request.

Note2: you can also help by dropping a thumbs up in this pull request to add Sail to awesome-ruby!

Welcome to UI Email Signature Generator - github.com/antonreshetov/mysigmail

Now I am working on version 2 in which there will be a WYSIWYG email editor.

Therefore, I would be happy if there are willing to help me in the development of templates for signatures
