I'm working on a project for people who are new to web development and open source. It's called code contributions

https://github.com/Roshanjossey/code-contributions.

Users will go through a tutorial, add an HTML file and submit a pull request to the same repository on GitHub.

I'm working on a project for people who are new to web development and open source.

https://github.com/Roshanjossey/code-contributions. Users will go through a tutorial, add an HTML file and submit a pull request to the same repository on GitHub.

I have two self imposed restrictions for this project.

1. Users shouldn't have to install anything or setup tooling 2. Their changes should be a separate HTML file

Reasoning behind (1) is to make the project more accessible. I'm assuming users would already have a web browser, text editor and terminal emulator on their machine. I'd like them to be able to complete the tutorial without installing any tooling (runtime, compiler etc) of a language. I'm expecting users to open `index.html` in their browser and see their changes.

Reasoning behind (2) is to avoid a big HTML file and merge conflicts

To implement fragments, I tried vanilla js, htmx, https://unpoly.com/ etc. My implementations ended up needing a server to be run on local (which goes against (1))

I ended up with a solution using iframes. All fragment HTML files are loaded in iframes now. I don't like this solution though. Ideally, I like to share scope, styles etc from the parent with child fragments.

If you have suggestions on enabling HTML fragments, please let me know.

Also, I'd love your feedback on this project. It's still in alpha stage and I'd love to improve.

From what I remember the venting state of the window is called 'auf kipp'. Not sure if the process is called 'kipping' though

"kippen", "Kippfenster"

The impact this project has on open source communities is something I often think about. To the point, I search on GitHub to see if there are random PRs to add names to Contributors list in other projects.

From those searches and getting feedback, I'm getting the feeling most users see this as a sandbox environment and real open source projects have different process.

First Contributions, sandbox for learning how to contribute to projects on GitHub reaches 60k users and 30k stars

Jasmine https://jasmine.github.io/2.0/introduction.html Documentation could be structured in a much better way making it the things you need easier to find. I always end up searching the whole page

Agree with @flukus. I didn't put anything about pre-requisites because I didn't want to drive anyone away. Anybody seeing these things for the first time can just google it and learn right?

For some people, it takes quite a while to learn to be comfortable with the command line.

Some open sourcerers use Windows and Visual Studio and Sourcetree. No cmd needed!

Here's a link to what I've started https://github.com/Roshanjossey/first-contributions

Seems very specific to git/github, which are popular here on HN but there is a great deal more variety out there.

I'd suggest something that doesn't deal in specific technologies but more general principles.

Thank you for the insight. Will checkout other tools as well.
