help.wtf: what is this I don't even

help.wtf is a cheatsheet service.

It operates on the basis of JSON files with markdown and syntax highlighting support.

help.wtf is pretty minimalist:

  • koa, which doesn't really do anything
  • no database, it's all loaded into memory
  • no auth (yet, we might add favstars or something)
  • no client side JS libraries, except for the composer (which uses bootstrap + json-editor)

Want to contribute your own cheatsheets? Visit http://help.wtf/_compose to use the composer, or just submit a pull request.

To install locally:

  • You need Node.js 4+ since we're using fancy ES6 features
  • Run npm install to fetch required dependencies
  • node index.js [port] to launch the service (default port is 8000)
  • Use gulp to launch under nodemon if so desired.

Ensure the queue/ directory is writable by the node process if you'd like to accept submissions through the /_compose command.
