Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

The participatory democracy framework.


Free Open-Source participatory democracy, citizen participation and open government for cities and organizations


https://decidim.org[Decidim] is a participatory democracy framework, written in Ruby on Rails, originally developed for the Barcelona City government online and offline participation website. Installing these libraries will provide you a generator and gems to help you develop web applications like the ones found on <<example-applications,example applications>> or like http://staging.decidim.codegram.com[our demo application].

All members of the Decidim community agree with http://www.decidim.org/contract/[Decidim Social Contract or Code of Democratic Guarantees].

'''

== Getting started with Decidim

TLDR: install gem, generate a Ruby on Rails app, enjoy.

[source,console]

gem install decidim decidim decidim_application

We've set up a guide on how to install, set up and upgrade Decidim. See the https://docs.decidim.org/en/install/[Getting started guide].

== How to contribute

See xref:CONTRIBUTING.adoc[Contributing].

== Modules

If you need to have some features that we don't have yet, we recommend that you make a module. This is a Ruby on Rails engine with some APIs specific to Decidim (for registering with the menus, integration with spaces like Participatory Processes or Assemblies, with /admin or /api, etc).

As a base you can use these modules, although check first that the version is compatible with your current Decidim version. Also you should know that until v1.0.0 We're under development and these internal APIs can change. We recommend that you extensively test your module.

See https://decidim.org/modules[Modules page on Decidim.org].

== Following our license

If you plan to release your application you'll need to publish it using the same license: GPL Affero 3. We recommend doing that on GitHub before publishing, you can read more on "http://producingoss.com/en/governments-and-open-source.html#starting-open-for-govs[Being Open Source From Day One is Especially Important for Government Projects]". If you have any trouble you can contact us on https://gitter.im/decidim/decidim[Gitter].

== Example applications

Since Decidim is a ruby gem, you can check out the https://github.com/decidim/decidim/network/dependents?type=application[dependent repositories] to see how many applications are on the wild or tests that other developers have made.
