sharpliner VS files_reader

I didn't appreciate developing Azure Pipelines in YAML so I've created a library that lets you use C# instead.

Aside the apparent advantages of the strong typed environment, I was able to bake in many more features that make your life easier. Code reuse is also super easy.

I use a library called Sharpliner (https://github.com/sharpliner/sharpliner) which lets you use C# instead of YAML. It has features around sourcing scripts that you might appreciate - it can take scripts from embedded resources and inline them in the YAML which gives you best of the both worlds:

Second, you might be into this: https://github.com/sharpliner/sharpliner

For some of the problems you mention (variable contexts), there are some things that can be done (e.g. https://github.com/sharpliner/sharpliner/issues/125).

In case you're just starting with YAML pipelines and you are using C# (which it seems you do), you can have a look at Sharpliner (https://github.com/sharpliner/sharpliner) which lets you use C# for pipelines. Sharpliner contains some useful shortcuts/macros such as If.IsPullRequest or If.IsBranch("main"), potentially If.And(IsPullRequest, IsBranch("main")) which makes this more readable and easy to use.

I did sort of explore this possibility here: https://github.com/sharpliner/sharpliner/issues/7

Apps > Files > Reader (ebook reader). Works well enough in my limited testing.

Simple things like:

Spodcast, a Spofify->RSS bridge [1], made it because I listen to netcasts while working outside out of network reach (forest and field work).

Reader, a native-look epub/pdf/cb[rz] reader for Nextcloud [2], made it when my daughter was issued an iPad at school on which she was not allowed to install any "apps" while I thought the thing was tailor-made for reading books. The iPad was returned years ago but I recently updated Reader to make it run again.

...and a host of small tools which I make just when I need them, dumping them to GH for all to peruse, e.g.:

ZMapi, a Zoneminder CLI tool [3], made it when I installed a video surveillance system in the new barn which uses Chinese cameras which I do not want to be able to access the 'net directly.

bs, a Bookstack API CLI tool [4], made it when I needed to upload a large number of conference videos to a Bookstack site.

...etc

I don't have much time for these side things since I'm mostly busy on and around the farm but every now and then the weather is a good excuse to keep me inside...

I gave Reader a good kick, shook out the debris from the tree and made it look a bit more like a "modern" (ha!) Nextcloud app and with that it should work again on current Nextcloud. Find it here:

...or here:

...or install it directly in NC. For those who give it a try let me know - through Github - if it work as intended.
