Openspace

Openspace is a web app to showcase your open source projects on GitHub.

We’ve reached a point where EverythingMe's organization profile on GitHub holds a combination of internal tools, forks of projects we’re using and contributed to and some less interesting bits. We wanted a simple and beautiful way to showcase the projects that are represent our open sourced work.

Shut up and show me how it looks

Overview

The web app is purely static to allow it to be hosted on GitHub pages, it uses a projects.json under /data folder to determine which projects to display.

While iterating on the design and metadata we're displaying, we created a tool to populate the projects.json file and also update it (in case you want periodic updates for descriptions / stars and forks counts).

Getting Started

• Clone and push to username.github.io repo.
• Use the data tool to create your projects.json file.
• Modify the projects.json if needed and test locally (simplest way to run it is to run python -m SimpleHTTPServer in the root folder and browse to http://localhost:8000
• Push. Profit.

Acknowledgements

• Bootsrap and Material Design for Bootstrap were used for layout, elements, icons and colors.
• The projects grid and animations were implemented using MixItUp.
• fontello was used for some of the icons
