Useful open source tools: the little things add up

Over the years we've created lots of little open source modules that are useful on their own. Because they are not part of our core product, I don't often step back and look at them as a whole. Turns out, there's quite a collection. Tools for sanitizing HTML, tools for managing github organizations at scale, tools to improve performance, tools for localizing URLs, even a brand new tiny framework for microservices. Giving stuff away has a lot of benefits for us: it encourages quality, it encourages contributions, and of course it "gives back" for all the open source we're using to create ApostropheCMS, which is also under an open source license.

I encourage you to check out the whole story here:
