nikmd23 / ossperks Goto Github PK

🔝

I like the simplistic design of ossPerks.com - it's the bare minimum needed to get the job done without a whole lot more, which it great.

I feel like we could add a little bit of jazz to the page though with the addition of .favicons for the company tags.

We could leverage Google's favicon service, which is as simple as adding am image like so:

<img src="https://plus.google.com/_/favicon?domain=red-gate.com"/>

Which would produce:

Of course, all you have to do is switch out the domain, which we could do with JavaScript, and get a whole slew of icons.

I think this should also be able to be handled via CSS with background-image, data-* attributes and the content property of CSS3.

Hi @nikmd23, cool project

I wrote a tool that can validate links in a file. It can be run when someone submits a pull request or a commit is pushed to ossperks.

It is currently being used by many projects including

• https://github.com/vinta/awesome-python
• https://github.com/enaqx/awesome-react
• https://github.com/vsouza/awesome-ios
• https://github.com/veggiemonk/awesome-docker

Examples

• https://travis-ci.org/vinta/awesome-python/builds/98201707 ok ✅
• https://travis-ci.org/matteocrippa/awesome-swift/builds/96722421 link redirected / rename 🔴
• https://travis-ci.org/dkhamsing/open-source-ios-apps/builds/96763135 bad link / project deleted 🔴
• https://travis-ci.org/vsouza/awesome-ios/builds/106914621 dupe 🔴

Running the tool for ossperks found these link redirects

• http://octopusdeploy.com/purchase redirects to http://octopus.com/purchase
• http://qt-project.org/products/licensing redirects to http://www.qt.io/developers/
• and more https://gist.github.com/32a64e9ec81f197e3a9b

If you are interested, connect this repo to https://travis-ci.org/ and add a .travis.yml file to the project (you can also use Circle CI or Codeship which can be configured without a file in the repo)... the script would verify links in index.html

I've created the following temporary logo and Twitter avatar for ossPerks.com:

Very simple, I know. It demonstrates the range of my design capabilities. 😉

It'd be great to have something a little more original and attractive. I'm pretty much open to anything as long as it is clear, easy to read and non-offensive.

Of course, since this is an open source project, we have no funds to pay for this work - but we'd be greatly thankful for your contribution.

Just reply to this issue with the graphic you'd suggest. If we get several logos, we'll vote for the best one.

I'm thinking we should separate the tools from the services on the site.

In my mind a tool is something I have to install on my box and a service is something that I don't.

A few examples include:

+---------------+------------+
| *Tool*        | *Service*  |
|---------------|------------|
| ANTS Profiler | GitHub     |
| ReSharper     | Confluence |
| Fiddler       | Jira       |
| GhostDoc      | MyGet      |
| RegEx Buddy   | TeamCity   |
+---------------+------------+

With this separation we could have two calls to action. Download for tools and Register for services.

Search, filter and sort would be great features for the website.
