Tools

Over time I built (and am still building) a few handy tools to make things easier for others and me.
Here is a collection of the things that people find quite useful:

Collection of web components

components.geekonaut.de is a collection of web components of all kinds.

Cloud9Hub

Cloud9 is a very useful cloud-based IDE running in your browser and it's open source, too.

Unfortunately not everybody can or wants to have their source code on a third party server and the open source version of Cloud9 lacks multi-workspace support.

Cloud9Hub gives you the possibility to run your own Cloud9 instances on your own infrastructure while providing an authentication and authorization mechanism and support for multiple workspaces.

grunt-phonegap-build

A Grunt task to help you build a Cordova app on build.phonegap.com.

It allows to build your app by either using a public Github repository or by uploading a zip file easily from within your normal build steps.

Parilis

Parilis is a JSON-RPC API testing tool written in Scala.

Eternity

If you are a fan of Heroku-style deployment (like Dokku provides) and want to easily deploy Node.js applications, you could give eternity a try.

It uses Dokkus git-receive module and ties it to forever to deploy and manage multiple node.js applications on a single server.

SuSi2

When you want to create a static website by using a global HTML layout and Markdown, SuSi2 is for you.

I found all the available static site generators rather overpowered and complex - lots of dependencies and some are very tightly integrated with a particular build tool, like Gulp or Grunt.

SuSi2 (SuperSimpleSites) has none of that. It has a single dependency, Marked, to parse Markdown files and that's it.

This website is created by Susi, by the way.

Geckoard Data Pushers

Set of script to push data from various sources to Geckoard.

Github repository

All your licenses are belong to us

Small ruby script to figure out all (or "as many as possible") licenses of your projects' dependencies.

Push your code quality metrics to keen.io using the reporters and visualize them as a simple dashboard.
