I'm making a tiny interval timer web app called Intervals. It's in React JS. Very easy and beginner friendly, since I'm a beginner myself. There are many features I'd like to add that I've listed out in the README. The repo is here

Hey Neil, did you design the app ? Love the minimalist interface and the chiptune SFX!

By no means a huge OSS project, but for those that use Gatsby for their blog or other purposes, feel free to contribute to my Gatsby code snippets extension

And more recently, there is the Gatsby extension pack for VS Code. Feel free to contribute there to, if you think another extension should be added to the pack.

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

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.

Dec 14th? Don't say I'm going to have to re-live the productivity black hole that is the holiday season, Ben...

I don't have a project that I'm looking for contributors on, but I'm looking for projects that need a PowerShell pro, or a C# intermediate, or a Typescript noob. :D

I share Orby, a small library for the generation of 100% functional interfaces.

Orby approves the ideas of React in the use of Hooks, as a pattern to manipulate functional instances. but unlike React,
Orby seeks to stay simple and small, similar to the objectives of Preact.

Currently the library weighs 2.8kB, but delivers support to:

Default effects: useState, useEffect, useMemo, useContext, useReducer.
high order components.
assignment of keys, to manipulate the order of the children.

I hope you like it.

I'd be happy to have someone contribute to jinx, the little nginx wrapper script I wrote. One pain point I currently have is that the restarting of nginx only works on macOS and Ubuntu. So if someone wants to implement service management for their favorite distro, that'd be great!

Also if some shell magician feels like yelling at me for writing ugly shell code, I'll happily accept that too. :D

how did you add those icons on your files on github?

pretzelhands • Sep 17 '19

Hey! In general, you can use the GitHub emoji codes to add them to your commit messages. For example :wave: produces 👋 (They work on dev.to too btw!)

There's also a specific key for the type of commit. I follow this one: gitmoji.carloscuesta.me/

If you can't be bothered to remember which emoji goes with which commit, you can also install a command-line helper: github.com/carloscuesta/gitmoji-cli

I could use some contributions to Mill, a library for making run-of-the-mill tasks a bit more elegant in Java. Some more details and use cases are covered in this article

Here is a really random project and is really easy to contribute.

npmjs.com/package/msg-generator

The idea of the project is to have lists of messages of different categories and it will generate one of the messages given the category.

You can contribute by adding more messages to the repo.
