I'd love any contributions to Material Bread, there are a bunch of small improvements, refactoring issues, and new features that need attention. I'm also working on some major upcoming changes if you're interested in bigger projects.

Been a while since I've posted to one of these, but Orchid is growing rapidly and looking for contributors! It's gotten a complete facelift, new logo, new docs, and is getting better and more flexible all the time. Help us build the next generation of project documentation websites!

orchidhq / Orchid

Build and deploy beautiful documentation sites that grow with you

Orchid

A beautiful and truly unique documentation engine and static site generator.

Orchid is a brand-new, general-purpose static site generator for Java and Kotlin, with a focus on extensibility and aimed at developers looking to improve their technical documentation. Orchid was born out of a desire for better-looking Javadocs and frustration with how difficult is it to manage large Jekyll sites and keep it up-to-date with your code.

Orchid supports a variety of plugins, including a wiki, static pages, blogs, and much more. It aims to have high compatibility with many of the existing static site generators, such as Jekyll, Gitbook, and Hugo, so that migration to Orchid is painless. And if you can't find a plugin to do what you need, Orchid provides an intuitive way to add your own private plugins and a rich API so you can make your site as beautiful and unique as an Orchid.

I would love to see more collaborators joining my efforts with MikroORM!

MikroORM is TypeScript ORM for Node.js based on Data Mapper, Unit of Work and Identity Map patterns. Currently it supports MongoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite databases, but more can be supported via custom drivers right now.

repo: github.com/mikro-orm/mikro-orm
docs: mikro-orm.io

Feel free to join the slack channel (or ping me here) to discuss how you can help! I will be more than happy to assist.

I simply love to use mikroorm. The architecture is clean and user friendly and has almost all features that you would expect from an ORM out of the box. Also the its way stable than other ORMs I ave used in the nodejs ecosystem with no hacks to get things done. Also love how you continously work on the project and provide quick feedback and fixes. Currently working on a project using Mikroorm and I would like to sponsor you on github once it starts to generate some revenue to show my appreciation.

Still searching contributors for gwion, most of the language is done, but there's ton of room for documentation improvement!

fennecdjay / Gwion

strongly-timed musical programming language

Gwion

Gwion is a programming language, aimed at making music

strongly inspired by chuck, but adding a bunch high-level features:
templating, first-class functions and more.

It aims to be simple, small fast extendable and embeddable.

simple example code (hello_world.gw):

// print hello world
<<< "Hello World" >>>;

to run this, do

./gwion hello_world.gw

You want to know more? 😄 Look here Both outdated and WIP 👷 but a nice place to learn and contribute

Build

Download the source

You might just want the minimum to start with, try

git clone https://github.com/fennecdjay/Gwion
cd Gwion
git submodule update --init util ast
make

You can get a list of config files to tweak with

find . -name "config.mk"

Besides develloper options, you migth want to check USE_DOUBLE, in util/config.mk, which set the floating point size (float or double).

This is interesting!

If you find yourself wanting to contribute and not finding the information you need, just let me know (by commenting or with an issue), I'll gladly make said information available.

I'll throw out a tool that we use at Hint:

hintmedia / railsdock

A tool for generating Ruby on Rails development environment Docker configuration

A command line tool for Dockerizing your Rails development environment.

Prerequisite

The configuration generated by this gem depends on Docker Desktop. Make sure it is installed before continuing.

Installation

Install the gem:

$ gem install railsdock

Or add it to your Gemfile:

gem 'railsdock', require: false, group: :development

Then run:

$ bundle

Usage

Navigate to your project directory:

$ cd /path/to/my/app

Then run:

$ railsdock install

The gem will then walk you through configuring Docker by asking questions about your environment.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle…

Could always use more eyes on it to make the generator and templates more robust.
