Refactoring and Search Functionality for Open Sustainable Technology #105
Comments
@jtorreggiani As promised, here is the issue on the redesign of the website. |
Yes please, this was the very first thing I wanted to do after stumbling on this project. I'm open to learning new languages but would ideally hit the ground running with a language I already know. |
At the moment you can use the AirTable to sort for "programming languages" . So far, however, we have not found anyone who integrates a search function for the database into the website. |
Thanks, @rjbergerud, for bringing this topic up again. You are absolutely right that the AirTable comes with all the search features one needs. In the past I had always hoped that we could replace AirTable an open source alternative like Datasette or NocoDB. Unfortunately, these variants always have to be hosted by yourself and so far I haven't had the time to look into them. Until we have found a better alternative, it makes sense to integrate the AirTable variant better. Here is the current integration with an iframe: https://opensustain.tech/discover/. What do you think about it? Unfortunately I don't manage to fill the whole tab of the website. Any idea how to extend the iframe to the whole tab? Edit: |
There is one more problem with AirTable. A "base" has to be updated manually every time. AirTable does not inherently offer automatic synchronization with a CSV URL. The third-party applications I have found so far do not work reliably. The lack of such standard features is typical for closed source projects. |
The current design of the website makes it difficult to search and find projects according to criteria such as "programming languages" or specific topics. Therefore, the project always receives poor feedback on its usability. Therefore, we are looking for a concept to better integrate the previously created database into the existing website or to transfer it into a new website.
The requirements are:
Database:
https://airtable.com/shr9we419r2TkpLkc
The aim of the website is to give beginners as well as experts in the field of sustainable technologies a possibility to discover software tools, projects, datasets, communities, tutorials and other resources easily related to their own problems and questions.
First, a proof-of-concept is needed that shows how the website in its current state can be transferred to the new state.
