javabubble's Issues

Bot is posting invalid/old handles

First, the Java User Group Switzerland had an account on mastodon.social. Then the Java User Group Switzerland moved their profile to ijug.social. The file javapeople.yaml was updated but the Mastodon Bot keeps posting the old handle.

Example: https://ijug.social/@[email protected]/112167586261734636

Option for adding reddit handles

I am likely to add myself to the bubble in the near future, but would be interested in linking my reddit handle as well, as much of my Java discussion happens on https://www.reddit.com/r/java/

How would folks feel about having reddit handles as a optional field, and linking them to https://www.reddit.com/user/handle ?

Add Bluesky user names

Would you be open to adding Bluesky (bsky.app) user names to this list? (I've connected with a few Java people over there, so I can provide a basic set of Bluesky handles)

Generate CSV file using Github Actions

Instead of regenerating the CSV file it would be great to automate this action using Github Actions.

This would free @kabutz from having to regenerate the file constantly.

Run GitHub Workflow to update handles only on upstream repository

When I fork this repository, all GitHub Workflows will start running on my fork, too. Updating the handles does not make sense to run on all forks. That provides much higher load on the mastodon servers etc. than necessary.

Solution: Add a condition to run the nightly handle check only on the upstream repository (this one).

Suggestion to add a license file to the repository

Hello! I came across your code and I was wondering if you have considered adding a license file to your repository. A license file is a way of letting others know how they can use or modify your code legally. Without a license file, your code is technically not open source and no one can use it without your permission. This might limit the potential impact and reach of your project. GitHub recommends that you include a license in your repository to let others know how can your code be used and built upon (Source: Licensing a repository). If you are interested in making your project open source, you can check out Choosing a license to learn more about the different types of licenses and their benefits.

To add a license file to your repository, you can follow the steps in this guide: Adding a license to a repository. You can also read this article for more information on open source licensing: Open Source Licensing Guide.

Rename master branch

Many organizations, projects, and individuals choose to not use the word master for their branch and switched to main as new name (see https://github.com/github/renaming/).
I think it would be a good idea to follow this in this repository.

Java User Groups

Hi! What do you think about adding a section for Java User Groups? Do you count them to be a part of the Java Bubble?

Missing fediverse link

LinkedIn link is only valid for persons

The current format of the LinkedIn link is not valid for company profiles.
E.g. Foojay: https://www.linkedin.com/company/foojayio/
But code wants to format like this: https://www.linkedin.com/in/%s/".formatted(getHandle())

feat: add dynamic search

We have done the following in Hackergarten at Zurich:

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => {
  const searchInput = document.getElementById("search-input");
  const rows = document.querySelectorAll("tbody tr");

  const onSearchInputKeyPress = () => {
    const searchTextLower = searchInput.value.toLowerCase();
    rows.forEach((row) => {
      const namesLower = row.children[0].textContent.toLowerCase();
      const handlesLower = row.children[1].textContent.toLowerCase();
      const rowText = namesLower + handlesLower;
      if (rowText.includes(searchTextLower)) {
        row.style.display = "table-row";
      } else {
        row.style.display = "none";
      }
    });
  };

  searchInput.addEventListener(
    "keyup",
    debounce((e) => onSearchInputKeyPress())
  );

  function debounce(func, timeout = 300) {
    let timer;
    return (...args) => {
      clearTimeout(timer);
      timer = setTimeout(() => {
        func.apply(this, args);
      }, timeout);
    };
  }
});

In html, before table:
<input id="search-input" placeholder="Search" style="margin-bottom: 1em" />

Include <script src="./search.js"></script>.

@McPringle will create the PR.

Allow @username in Twitter handles

It is common (and supported by Github) to prefix Twitter handles with an @. I absent-mindedly copied my Twitter handle into my Github handle in javapeople.yaml and my PR failed. It was easy enough to fix, but others may make the same mistake.

Consider adding a LinkedIn column

As discussed here:
05863ef#r93592262

I think a LinkedIn column could be useful as well. LinkedIn is an underrated network.

Add all mastondon users in a JavaBubble List

Add another Data Export option, so you can import all the mastodon accounts as a list.
This helps the users to filter just for the java content in their mastodon stream.

this will be solved with this PR: #345
