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.

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! ❤

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!

ithaka / apiron

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

Documentation Status PyPI version Build Status

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

Pie in a cast iron skillet

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

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

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

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! :)

#BUIDL Explorer is an open-source repository and issues explorer. I wanted to simplify the way for newcomers to explore the blockchain space, find projects and start contributing.

It lists projects that are specifically 'Good first issues' or 'request help' from new contributors. Filter on your favorite language and you're good to go!

The project itself is open-source as well of course. Could easily be forked to keep track of other topics/technologies.

ClassicPress is a fork of the battle-tested, proven WordPress 4.9 branch with the Classic Editor, and without Gutenberg. You can find more information about why we decided to fork WordPress and about our plans for the next few releases on our roadmap.

Our current release is 1.0.0-beta2 and we're looking for help to get the 1.0.0-rc1 and 1.0.0 releases out soon. You can see our current task list at the 1.0.0-rc1 milestone on GitHub.

If you have any questions, feel free to chime in on the individual GitHub issues or on our Slack group - the #core channel is a good place to chat about development of ClassicPress itself.

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

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

dashboard

Maintainability Build Status Test Coverage Gem Version

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!

Bors-NG -- a GitHub app that keeps the master branch forever passing all the tests.

If you just want to set it up on your own repository, there's the getting started walkthrough that hundreds of users have gone through to set up the public instance. Bors has private instances run by major projects like RubyGems Bundler, Microsoft OpenEnclave, and CockroachDB.

Interested in Elixir? Like working on development tooling, GitHub's REST API, and projects with lots of stakeholders with subtly different wants? There's E-Easy issues in GitHub and not-so-easy issues if you want to stretch your debugging muscles.
