Open Source Resources

A compiled list of known opensource resources, sources. boilerplates, and more.

To use it, simply go to the project GitPage URL

How does it work ?

The WebApp parses the Markdown specific structure into a JSON object that is used by the Vue app script to create a static page capable of search

Why use markdown and not JSON directly?

In order to make it readable to everyone, human and computer alike, a simple bullet list makes more sense. And since basically everyone can compile a simple to do list on a daily basis, contributing to a text file is trivial.

YAML ?

Considered that too, but it requires somewhat of a learning curve.

How to Contribute

Fork the repository and edit the markdown bullet list adding your suggestion (following the current file structure), then submit a pull request for review.

As of now, a link resource is described as the first level on a bullet list and any following children are considered a property of said resource, e.g.:

• CoolOpenSourceResource
  • Link: Describes the link
  • Description: Short description of the resource
  • Img: A link to a favicon or image, for ilustration purposes
  • License: The Item License
  • LongDescription: A long description of the item
  • Tags: Relevant Search Tags
  • Type: The type of the resource
  • Area: The area of the resource
  • Why: Why should one be interested in using it or for what would you use it for

Template:

- CoolOpenSourceResource
   - Link:
   - Description: 
   - Img:
   - License: 
   - LongDescription: 
   - Tags:
   - Type: 
   - Area: 
   - Why:
