The Github Pirates is an attempt to make sense of the large amount of frontend web-development gold that exists on Github at the moment. Every now and then, I check the wonderful resource, and more often than not - find a bit of JS/CSS/HTML5 gold pushed to Github.

Github been around a while now, and as any web developer knows, it can be hard to sift through the noise that is currently abound on Github; particularly over the last 6 months, I have seen a rise of fellow githubbers releasing pretty much everything they have in their arsenal of Web development tools.

Whilst this is important, and shouldn't go overlooked, I feel, as ever, there is a large propensity towards noise as a result.
Enter The Github Pirates. You see, I roam the Github badlands, late at night, in search for trinkets and gems of web development awesome-ness.

When I download the scripts, I often feel I own a bit of history, because as anyone will tell you - the internet is forever changing. Sure, all the mega-brands, and mega-sites will always be there, but I often feel compelled to mirror things when I get an inkling it won't be around much longer.

Github shutting down? Well hardly, but they are a free service, and I am always wary of anything 'free' on the net. Especially 'services' that honeypot user generated content. Sure, Github has paid plans for the big boys, but I do worry about everyday Joe who relies on Github on a daily basis to sustain his repo indefinetly, and keep it there when times get bad.

Download The Pirate Chest Of Github Web-Dev Gold:
https://gist.github.com/1809637

The Chest is a collection of handpicked repos gathered from all over Github, and hosted / backed up at various multiple locations for the following reasons:

  • Ease of reference
  • Quality
  • Preservation
  • Exposure

The repos you submit must be coded in either HTML5/CSS3, or JavaScript.

The project is a community based effort, and invites users of any skill level to suggest additions, or modifications to the project.

Once your project has been submitted through the site it will be reviewed by The Curator and added to the main repo. As mentioned earlier, if you want a little more exposure for your repo, this is where you do it. The Curator is looking for high-quality code only. Please read the description about what constitutes high-quality before submitting:

  • Is it generally bad-ass enough to be shared with a large audience?
  • Is it 'bleeding edge'? i.e: Does it use non-standard CSS3 / CSS4 properties?
  • Is the code light-weight? Is the code elegant? Is the code easy to maintain?
  • Does the code perform well? Is it CPU-Fan friendly?
  • Is it new? If not, how does it improve upon existing solutions?
  • Is the code peer-reviewed by others? Is it influenced by others?
  • Can the code run-from-anywhere? i.e: Unzip, open index.html, and run?
  • None of the above? Fear not, The Curator doesn't believe in rules anyways.
  • These are guides and you should pay attention to them before submitting
