  • pow

    Discontinued Zero-configuration Rack server for Mac OS X

    Is this the POW you're talking about? https://github.com/basecamp/pow

  • CodeTriage

    Discover the best way to get started contributing to Open Source projects

    Also, it's a good time to call out that https://www.codetriage.com/ has support for finding undocumented methods in projects and sending them to your inbox (only supports Ruby projects at the moment).

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • bookbuilder

    A simple template and workflow for publishing books with Pandoc (by speedshop)

    I do lots of stuff that works well for me that I can't recommend to anyone else. Custom book toolchain is one of them. I'm REALLY happy with the result, but getting there was a lot of work. For an open source flow I think pandoc would be the way to go. Nate has open sourced his toolchain https://github.com/speedshop/bookbuilder.

  • softcover

    CLI for book generation, building, and publishing to softcover.io

    I'm between softcover and leanpub right now, about 150 pages in. I don't love either, and I'm leaning towards the "ok just do it myself" but that'd take away from the actual writing part, but it sounds more fun, but the writing part... redo.
