Anyway, regarding this thread:

Looking for people to provide feedback on A TypeScript based React Native Starter Kit written by me.

It has been built with React Native Navigation + Redux + Eslint to build iOS / Android apps using TypeScript

Who is this for?

Someone looking to jumpstart building apps using RN and loves TS. The base setup has been taken care of, just npm install and get going.

Disclaimer: This is an opinionated approach to building apps with RN. The project structure is inspired by multiple production apps built by the contributors.

The project uses and encourages to use industry best practices / tools / libraries like RNN, redux, eslint, separation of concern and structure to build a maintainable app.

䞭文介绍(Chinese Intro): zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/45672318

CVPM (Computer Vision Package Manager) is an open source software to help developers download, install and run computer vision services. It is the 'pip' for computer vision.

Though it is still in a very early stage and not recommend for use in production (actually, I do not recommend you to try it now because it may contain unknown bugs), We'd like to invite adorable developers to join us. We have a roadmap draft as below:

Complete the test cases and docs.

Complete the Model Hub. (Prototype is at hub.autoai.org)

Complete packages for some classic tasks as "Official Repo"

Complete third party package upload.

As an open source software, I am really sorry that we cannot promise you anything. But the following is what I can do:

We will have an Authors List for all the contributors.

There will be logo banner and donors page at the bottom of our Model Hub for sponsors.

If you are interested, please contact me at xiaozhe.yaoi@gmail.com, or you can post a GitHub Issues.

We are building the strictest python linter ever!
We have just released the first public version of it.

Welcome to the most opinionated linter ever.

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

The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters
Beautiful is better than ugly
Explicit is better than implicit
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than *right* now.

And there's so much work to do!
Our current goal is to lint async code.

Feel free to ask any question you have in the project's issues.
Happy hacking!
