Show HN: Starter.place – Gumroad for Starter Repos

• starter-flutter

  1 3 0.0 Dart

  Starter template for Flutter apps.

Thanks for launching! I want to submit mine, but can you please add Dart (language) and Flutter (framework?).

My starter project is for Flutter, https://github.com/wiradikusuma/starter-flutter and it's part of my upcoming book about building mobile apps, https://opinionatedlaunch.com/

• rfcs

  5 34 4.9 Python

  RFCs for major changes to EdgeDB (by edgedb)

  

Search it is! I could implement search that searches for exact tokens in the tools the author connected and the README, but I want to wait for anything more until EdgeDB releases its full-text search solution https://github.com/edgedb/rfcs/blob/master/text/1015-full-te...

I actually had a feature in mind where people could vote on starters they want and others could build them out and list them for free or a price. Do you think that would fit your needs and is there anything in particular you'd want to see in a feature like that?

• SurveyJS

  surveyjs.io sponsored

  Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  

• jscodeshift

  28 8,955 5.2 JavaScript

  A JavaScript codemod toolkit.

  

Those are important but tough problems!

1. I feel like codemods and a setup shell prompt are the best solution to this, but this looks different for each language (eg, in JS there is https://github.com/facebook/jscodeshift). I could make UI around that for listers to provide parts of the app that should replaced and buyers to provide values for it, but it could be quite a rabbit hole. This is actually why I show the README for the repos, so users can see if the setup steps are comprehensive before buying (for paid ones).

2. I agree atomic commits can help someone navigate a new codebase. In the same spirit as my response to #1, I don't feel confident I could enforce this, but I could surface the commits on the starter repo page so potential buyers could see if the author laid things out well.

Thanks for the ideas!
