This week, we’re extending a warm welcome to The League of Moveable Type‘s excellent open source fonts to GitHub!
Featured Repo of the Week
Nintendo’s ever-popular Wii console has a web browser, but little development is done with it. This JavaScript project offers a stable, robust, and documented API for wii/html interaction.
While not entirely practical for actual application development, this project aims to be a great avenue for teaching kids about programming.
Wii-js supports up to four wiimotes interacting with a page at a time. Check out the demo page (on your wii) to see it in action.
Awesome Repo of the Week
This is nothing short of awesome. A git implementation written in pure JavaScript. Similar to the Dulwich project, for Python.
Git.js is MIT licensed. It features both a command-line git client for node.js and an in-browser repo API for accessing repos available via HTTP.
Remarkable Repos
- j2labs/brubeck: A flexible web framework for Python, powered by Mongrel2, Eventlet, ZeroMQ, and DictShield. To get a feel for the framework, check out the example project.
- arthuredelstein/clooj: a lightweight IDE for Clojure, written in Clojure. Powered by Swing, Clooj is cross platform and can be used as both a standalone application or embedded editor.
-
jceb/vim-orgmode:
This awesome plugin brings emacs’ org-mode note-taking system to the vim community. Access your notes on your iPhone with mobileorg over WebDAV or Dropbox. -
Khan/khan-mobile:
The source code of the Khan Academy’s new mobile app.
Promising Repos
-
urbancoding/jenx:
A Jenkins build server monitor for Mac OS X, powered by MacRuby. This app sits in your status bar and reports the status of all your Jenkins builds. Click on a job, and it opens it up in your browser. It even supports Growl! -
jesusabdullah/pyee:
A port of node.js’ popular EventEmitter system to Python. Simple and strait forward. - memo/iSteveJobs: This useless (but fun) project replaces all the faces detected in a webcam feed with Steve Jobs. It is powered by the openFrameworks C++ Framework.
- kennethkufluk/Twitter-Matrix: This HTML5 project takes a Twitter list’s public feed, and displays it. Matrix-style. Check out the demo page to see it in action.
