I added some of you that I already know are on GitHub. If you would like to be added (or removed!) please comment or send me a message.
I was talking to @rgriscom today and we were talking about collaboration and software and all the things we could be doing with documentation and the web. I have my own library, docling.js, which I haven’t released yet because I would like to get it to a place where it makes sense first, but that will go in this organization when that is ready.
I’d also like a place to turn peoples’ ideas and designs for applications into actual repos, even if the goal is just to explore whether a design is feasible. Design, after all, is a huge part of the programming process.
Thanks for setting this up! It looks like GitHub Pages only works if the repo is public. Is there another way to easily open web content stored on GitHub? Or we could simply make the repo public…
I was working on a basic timer app which I added to the repo, because I discovered that the original timer in my elicitation app was no 100% synced with the audio I was recording, because it would run at a slightly slower pace. This timer is a little bit better but still drifts by about a second after a couple of minutes. There is an explanation of how to deal with this by using preemptive correction, in an answer here, but I haven’t tried it out yet.
Certainly I don’t see any problem with making that small test repo public.
@meaganvigus and I worked on an app that involved timing and discovered that it is a pretty tricky topic in JS. Every time I work on an app that involves timing I forget the details.
