The simple case is testing out switching out <a href="https://vanity.labnotes.org/index.html#intro">two different page layouts</a> to see which drives more signups. Set up and track metrics such as <a href="https://500hats.typepad.com/500blogs/2007/09/startup-metrics.html">referrals or acquisitions</a>, and then check it out in the built in dashboard using <a href="https://github.com/antirez/redis">Redis</a>. It&#8217;s also quite easy to extend and bring in other services, such as <a href="https://www.viget.com/extend/user-goal-tracking-in-rails-with-vanity-and-google-analytics/">Google Analytics</a>. Get started split testing your app <a href="https://vanity.labnotes.org/">here</a>.</p> <h3>Notably New Projects</h3> <p><strong><a href="https://github.com/wdas/ptex">ptex</a></strong> is a high-quality, production ready texture-mapping system created by <a href="https://www.disneyanimation.com/">Walt Disney Animation Studios</a>. This C++ library has just recently been released here on GitHub, after being used extensively in <a href="https://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0397892/"><span class="caps">BOLT</span></a> and integrated into Pixar&#8217;s <a href="https://renderman.pixar.com/">RenderMan</a>. There&#8217;s plenty of documentation about the file formats, <span class="caps">API</span>, and papers on the new texture mapping procedures used in the library on the <a href="https://ptex.us/documentation.html">project&#8217;s website</a>. You can also see ptex in action with a high-resolution model of a T-Rex <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxNlAlOuQQQ">here on YouTube</a> or check out some <a href="https://ptex.us/samples.html">sample projects</a>.</p> <p><strong><a href="https://github.com/clofresh/couch-crawler">couch-crawler</a></strong> is a search engine that&#8217;s built on top of <a href="https://couchdb.apache.org/">CouchDB</a> and uses <a href="https://github.com/rnewson/couchdb-lucene">couch-lucene</a> to index data. Created in an experiment to <a href="https://syntacticbayleaves.com/2010/01/17/announcing-couch-crawler-a-couchdb-search-enginecrawler/">index work intranet pages</a>, the neat part about this project is that there&#8217;s no web tier between the browser and CouchDB. Couch serves up static <span class="caps">HTML</span>/<span class="caps">CSS</span>, and <span class="caps">AJAX</span> calls hit Couch directly and then the UI is built up with the help of <a href="https://github.com/janl/mustache.js">mustache.js</a>. The spider uses Python along with <a href="https://code.google.com/p/httplib2/">httplib2</a> and <a href="https://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/">Beautiful Soup</a> to extract data. I&#8217;d love to see this apply to more than just corporate intranets, because knocking out a whole layer of glue code is a really neat idea.</p> <p><strong><a href="https://github.com/dabroz/gitcharts">gitcharts</a></strong> is a small C# app that <a href="https://dabroz.scythe.pl/upload/2010/01/chart.png">generates a graph</a> for lines of code in a given git repository over time, and supports multiple projects in one repository. This would be really cool to see applied as a service built on top of <a href="https://develop.github.com">GitHub <span class="caps">API</span></a> &#8230;hint hint!</p> <p><strong><a href="https://a2h.github.com/js/base64ize/">base64ize</a></strong> is a small JavaScript-based site that applies <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64">base64</a> to any file you drag onto it, courtesy of some new APIs in Firefox 3.6. This is just a fun hack, but definitely worth a bookmark if you&#8217;re doing this often to images or data while testing. Also, the author&#8217;s <a href="https://a2h.uni.cc/wp/2010/01/11/base64ize/">blog post</a> shows off a part of the Mozilla developer world I haven&#8217;t seen before: <a href="https://hacks.mozilla.org/">hacks.mozilla.org</a>.

Yes, it wouldn&#8217;t be a Rebase without a fun toy programming project, and this one is special since the author is <a href="https://yalfs.blogspot.com/">blogging the project&#8217;s goals and progress</a>. This implementation is done in straight C, and it already has some basic datatypes implemented. So it might be a long way from tail recursion, but this is a neat project to keep an eye on if you&#8217;re a language or functional programming geek.</p> qrush tag:github.com,2008:Post/585 2010-01-18T15:29:29-08:00 2010-01-18T15:30:00-08:00 <p>Know someone who could use a clear, hands-on introduction to GitHub? <a href="https://github.com/nettuts">nettuts</a> has them covered.</p> <div align="center"><a href="https://net.tutsplus.com/videos/screencasts/terminal-git-and-github-for-the-rest-of-us-screencast"><img src="https://img.skitch.com/20100118-mbutj6e8irbau8ms7uach741i1.png"/></a></div> <p>Their <a href="https://net.tutsplus.com/videos/screencasts/terminal-git-and-github-for-the-rest-of-us-screencast/">Terminal, Git, and GitHub for the Rest of Us: Screencast</a> (which compliments their excellent <a href="https://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/other/getting-the-hang-of-github/">Getting the Hang of GitHub</a> tutorial) is a great introduction to Git and GitHub.</p> defunkt tag:github.com,2008:Post/584 2010-01-17T19:48:37-08:00 2010-01-21T17:55:03-08:00 <!-- -*-Markdown-*- --> <p><strong>Update 1/19/2010:</strong> Page build notifications have been added to the list of notifications you can turn on/off and have moved to the Notifications section as well. Thanks!</p> <p>Today we rolled out updates to the messaging &amp; notification systems for GitHub. We've added a couple new features and improved the existing messaging system.</p> <h3>Notification Center</h3> <p>If you check the <a href="/account">account settings</a> page, you'll notice a new tab called <a href="/account/notifications">Notification Center</a> that holds preferences for all the emails you get from GitHub.</p> <p><img src="https://share.kyleneath.com/captures/skitched-20100117-193031.gif" alt="Notification Center" /></p> <h3>Commit Comment Notifications</h3> <p>We've enabled two new email notifications by default: comments on your commits (where you are listed as an author or committer) and comments on commits in your repositories. We understand some commits can get noisy, so we added the ability to turn notifications off on a per-commit basis.</p> <p><img src="https://share.kyleneath.com/captures/skitched-20100117-221429.gif" alt="Commit Comments" /></p> <h3>Improved email subjects</h3> <p>All of our email notifications were previously "[GitHub] user sent you a message." They should be considerably more descriptive and thread friendly now.</p> <p><img src="https://share.kyleneath.com/captures/default.data-20100117-194222.gif" alt="Email Subjects" /></p> <h3>Notifications vs Messages</h3> <p>We've separated out pull requests and issue comments into a new category called notifications. Your inbox should now be filled solely with actual messages. Notifications will show up next to your username (in grey), while the inbox count only refers to actual messages.</p> <p><img src="https://share.kyleneath.com/captures/Commit_cbd162f5526b2bf0e32340964e612acc9f4d29ca_to_kneath_s_watchtower_-_GitHub-20100117-194430.gif" alt="Sample Userbox" /></p> <p>Another small update is that we've added a <em>mark all as read</em> button to the inbox and notification sections.</p> <p>We know there's always room for improvement with our messaging and notifications — but hopefully this is a step in the right direction. Hope you enjoy!</p> <p><strong>P.S.</strong>: I'd like to take a moment to thank the fine folks who made <a href="https://mocksmtpapp.com">MockSMTP</a>. It made testing these new email notifications <em>so much easier.</em> If you're looking for testing app-generated emails locally, check it out.</p> kneath tag:github.com,2008:Post/583 2010-01-15T15:38:40-08:00 2010-01-15T15:38:48-08:00 <p><a href="https://tinymce.moxiecode.com/">TinyMCE</a>, an <span class="caps">HTML</span> <span class="caps">WYSIWYG</span> editor written in JavaScript, has moved to GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/tinymce">https://github.com/tinymce</a></p> <div align="center"><a href="https://github.com/tinymce"><img src="https://img.skitch.com/20100115-m19rkf3wb3panm2fhnw5gb6h9u.png"/></a></div> <p>Their <a href="https://blog.moxiecode.com/2010/01/14/tinymce-moved-to-github/">announcement</a> lists the main reasons they chose GitHub:</p> <ol> <li>Community</li> <li>Speed</li> <li>Ease of access</li> <li>Flexibility</li> </ol> <p>Welcome to the party!</p> defunkt tag:github.com,2008:Post/581 2010-01-14T11:19:30-08:00 2010-01-14T11:27:29-08:00 <p>I have a few quick <a href="https://pages.github.com/">Pages</a> updates worth noting. <a href="https://wiki.github.com/mojombo/jekyll">Jekyll</a> has been upgraded from <strong>v0.5.4</strong> to <strong>v0.5.7</strong>.
