Open source is a job. Projects are dreamt up, created and maintained. Each little piece is part of a larger whole. Just like with paid projects, whenever a formal structure is lacking, an ad hoc variant will replace it. This is an attempt to create an overview of the projects I've been working on, highlight the goals behind them and formulate the relationships between them.
$ git clone https://github.com/yoshuawuyts/planUses graphviz to create project dependency graphs.
$ bundle.shWe need better tools to become more productive. To develop means to repeat yourself. Every year new frameworks pop up, conventions are abandoned and monoliths created. Usually in the name of improvement. That's silly. While mad scientists tinker away at the very edges of what was conceived to be possible, others must take it upon themselves to improve the status quo or risk having the industry as a whole forever strand on using the new era of XML, Python and non-unix.
- Components should be usable stand-alone, but work exceptionally well together.
All packages listed serve 2 main goals:
- stop repetition
- speed up development without using frameworks
- The goal isn't to create a framework
- I'm not alone in this, find existing projects where possible and build on top of them. Others are encouraged to take these ideas and implement parts of them.
- Marketing is not a goal; we cannot compete with large budgets (also doesn't interest me). Best we can hope for is adoption from knowledgeable people and hope for the best.
full context, why a solution needs to exist, what you hope to achieve. Provide context for goals
graphs, charts, dependency graphs, relationship between views. Should be kept brief because it is high-level. You look at it and understand what's going on.
