Inspiring online is an open source blog, used to share interesting, and inspiring things from the online landscape.
Inspiring Online aims to be a blog for those looking for encouragement and inspiration in the tech world, but is also an experiment. The entire blog is open source, so anyone can submit amendments to posts, fix spelling mistakes, add discussion links, and create new posts too! Ideally, it's a great starting area for someone to enter the open source world!
There are a lot of ways to contribute to this project. Really, we want what you have! This is a great place to get started with open source code. Break down that initial barrier (it was really scary for me, but once it's down, the floodgates are open for you, and the open souce world).
Here are a few ways to get started:
- Submit an awesome website! This involves opening an issue with [proposal] as the first words. And a link to something you think is creative and awesome.
- Submit a post from an approved proposal! This means, adding the image, and the markdown file to create the post, as well as writing a little something about it. Not too much (we're not really that wordy) ... Kapow, done!
- Fix a spelling mistake! I'm not perfect at all, I must make 100 of these a day. Even if its a small pull request, we'd love to see it!
Naturally, for Inspiring Online to keep a good quality, we can't accept any old post. For new people, there should be a bunch of [proposal]'s in the projects issues page ... these are great starting points. Similarly, if you spot a mistake or problem in a post, you can patch that up too! I see so many pull requests fixing readme's ... they're totally welcome here!
We're looking for posts, images and links that inspire people. These can range from great talks, to creative code, to awesome design. Here's a few little examples.
- Emotions With CSS is an awesome talk. Well worthy!
- Music Emojis is a great little design project.
- This glitch effect is an amazing example of creative code.
Sadly, we don't really want everything... we've got to keep the quality up, and some things can taint that.
- Please don't post your own things. I know self promoting is fun, but it's kind of against the spirit of what we're trying to do.
- Let's keep advertising to a minimum. Thats not to say its ruled out, sometimes advertising is really really creative... we just don't want to be full of it.
- Lets try to keep the articles based around new and upcoming things. Ro.me is still amazing, but we've seen it before!
If ideas and proposals really fill up in the GitHub issues, we might move to a link drop at the end of the week, including a lot of things.
Most importantly, don't be offended if we turn something down. We're here to work with you and make the most out of your contributions, and ideally won't have to turn much down!
Nothing is perfect. We're totally figuring this whole thing out right now. Got a problem, please open up an issue on the repository. That way, you're guaranteed to get something back.
