[2804.66 --> 2810.34] since february if it's changed at all so that that ux hasn't changed much the what that is is it's a |
[2810.34 --> 2816.50] github token and i'm not sure you can github oauth from anything that doesn't have server |
[2816.50 --> 2821.54] assistance because the way they've set up their oauth but you can go to github and request an app |
[2821.54 --> 2825.86] token and then paste that token in and you only have to do it once to set up your machine and it |
[2825.86 --> 2831.14] remembers it okay now the other part that the paste in the url is just me being lazy there's no |
[2831.14 --> 2836.66] reason i couldn't have a smarter ui that using the rest api queries all of your git repos and gives |
[2836.66 --> 2841.78] you a drop down or some smart selector or whatever that's a nice to have not a need to have right |
[2841.78 --> 2846.50] yeah i'm focusing on the things that other people can't do or other people think they can't do there's |
[2846.50 --> 2854.18] nothing i'm doing other people can't do and um just to kind of key off one more thing i i'm not sure |
[2854.18 --> 2859.78] if we touched on it i think slightly but it uses ace editor and it kind of goes back to what i just said |
[2860.26 --> 2864.74] which is what you said actually uh which is i'm not building an editor i'm building a workflow so you |
[2864.74 --> 2869.22] didn't actually build the editor part of it this is from an existing open source project that's out |
[2869.22 --> 2873.38] there i think i was going to ask about your cloud cloud nine experience i'm assuming you had some |
[2873.38 --> 2877.94] part in ace editor as well i didn't actually work on ace a lot while i was there it was pretty much |
[2877.94 --> 2885.78] fabian's work i've at cloud nine i was doing a bunch of infrastructure back-end stuff making the like |
[2885.78 --> 2890.26] the big thing i did there was i made the terminal run in the browser over web socket with the lowest latency |
[2890.26 --> 2897.22] possible okay but yeah ace is amazing i've i used code mirror for a while and then i switched to ace |
[2897.22 --> 2902.02] because i i prefer it personally it's it's a lot more full-featured out of the box but it's also a |
[2902.02 --> 2908.34] lot bigger so it's a trade-off i liked your um your comments too about working late at night near |
[2908.34 --> 2914.10] children in low light levels and being able to easily swap out the various um oh right the various |
[2914.10 --> 2919.62] syntax highlighting colors that was pretty neat too so when you open up t-edit you're going to see a |
[2919.62 --> 2924.02] nice window at a tree view the tree view is all my code and that's all custom code that's the bulk |
[2924.02 --> 2931.06] of the code actually everything's inside that tree and using tj holloway chuck's css parser i parse out |
[2931.06 --> 2937.46] the ace theme when you change themes and then apply the same colors to the tree so your entire screen is |
[2937.46 --> 2942.90] the same color scheme because like you said i am i am all often working in the dark in a bedroom next |
[2942.90 --> 2948.10] to children helping them sleep and i hit having this bright white tree here next to this dark code |
[2948.10 --> 2954.10] here and it's yeah it doesn't work yeah i've kind of i like that too it's just i think those who |
[2954.66 --> 2960.26] primarily work maybe in in vim or something like that are used to it because it's all whatever they |
[2960.26 --> 2965.86] set for their theme in you know in their terminal but for those who maybe work in sublime text or |
[2965.86 --> 2970.98] other i guess ide's you generally have syntax highlighting and colors for your code but then |
[2970.98 --> 2975.78] it doesn't really apply to your sidebar your you know your file system like you just mentioned so it's |
[2975.78 --> 2980.02] it was neat how those played a part too and just even easy to how you can swap |
[2980.98 --> 2987.78] from one color to another i think it makes it a little harder in other editors and for some reason |
[2988.34 --> 2994.58] you just made it so easy right like i said my focus is accessibility yeah and part of accessibility is |
[2995.46 --> 3000.66] uh vision so one of the first things that i did for t-edit was you can change the font size and the |
[3000.66 --> 3007.38] color scheme with keyboard shortcuts there you can change them very easily so if i'm presented at a |
[3007.38 --> 3012.50] conference and i'm live demoing i can change it to a white background if it's not a very good projector |
[3012.50 --> 3017.78] i can bump up the font or shrink it down i want all these things to be extremely easy because i don't |
[3017.78 --> 3021.06] want them to get in the way so those were some of the first things i did |
[3021.06 --> 3030.82] well we didn't talk at all about chrome fs maybe you mentioned it note fs um i'm just looking at some |
[3030.82 --> 3036.50] of our notes we had for this call what before we begin to close out the show what other things can |
[3036.50 --> 3041.86] we mention that you know just you haven't done enough tim so what else is there to mention that's |
[3041.86 --> 3047.06] um really important to close off i guess talking about t-edit and i guess the direction you're taking |
[3047.06 --> 3051.62] with that right we should probably talk about the current state of the project and what people can |
[3051.62 --> 3059.06] use now okay well it's not done and the biggest missing pieces are network and diff and merge but |
[3059.06 --> 3066.10] what is done is a lot the js github backend is quite mature i use you can use it node or web app or chrome |
[3066.10 --> 3075.38] it works anywhere the and that's the js github project there's two new ones there is get chrome fs and |
[3075.38 --> 3082.26] get node fs and what those do is those use the built-in mix in and js get the fsdb and they let |
[3082.26 --> 3088.82] you mount real git repos using js git either from a chrome app or through node and so the the hosting |
[3088.82 --> 3095.70] project i was talking about what it does is it github mounts the projects but then it caches them |
[3095.70 --> 3102.10] locally using a real git repo using the git node fs and when i'm doing my consulting work what i'll do is |
[3102.10 --> 3109.06] using t-edit i will mount my local git repo on my macbook and that way i can edit the git tree in t-edit |
[3109.70 --> 3113.62] and i need the files back on the hard drive for node and so i live export the whole thing to the |
[3113.62 --> 3119.86] hard drive and so anytime i change a file it writes it out first to the git repo and then to the working |
[3119.86 --> 3126.90] directory so i can test my code there there's a there's a few weird things about it because i now have |
[3126.90 --> 3134.66] two copies of everything but some nice reverts or git resets fix that pretty quickly so you can use |
[3134.66 --> 3143.06] js git today for a lot of things you can since you can read and write existing git repos if you're on a |
[3143.06 --> 3149.70] server where you have real git then you can clone using normal git and then using js git you can mount |
[3149.70 --> 3156.02] that repo and use this nice javascript api to walk the tree and walk the commits and do code analysis |
[3156.02 --> 3162.50] or custom builds or whatever you want so this could be used for javascript package managers or build |
[3162.50 --> 3168.42] systems or continuous integration systems i want to be able to eventually use it for mobile apps that |
[3168.42 --> 3176.50] want a syncable offline storage and so i have two tasks there that i'm going to work on soon one is i'm |
[3176.50 --> 3180.98] adding sync to the github back end so it can actually work offline and then sync with github |
[3180.98 --> 3185.70] using the rest api and then another one is i'm going to implement the full pack protocol that |
[3185.70 --> 3190.90] everyone else uses that real git uses for the platforms that actually have that network primitive |
[3193.06 --> 3197.70] since you were talking about the i guess location of where things like mounting from github it seems |
[3197.70 --> 3204.26] like it's got some deep github integrations at one point during your demo you talked about owning your |
[3204.26 --> 3209.38] own code and you feel very passionate about that is it is it where you store your code or what did |
[3209.38 --> 3215.46] you mean by that i couldn't quite understand what you were trying to trying to emphasize with owning |
[3215.46 --> 3220.74] your own code in the editor is that is that keying off of where you mount your repos from like your own |
[3220.74 --> 3228.34] private repos or github or bitbucket is it is it that or is it something else so i i worked with cloud |
[3228.34 --> 3233.38] ids i mean i've worked at cloud nine for a while and the biggest issue i had with them is your entire |
[3233.38 --> 3239.46] workspace lives on some cloud server right which i mean first of all that's a practicality issue you |
[3239.46 --> 3244.74] have to be online and that's that's a non-starter for me i have flaky internet i travel a lot |
[3246.10 --> 3249.70] and then it's on their cloud server they can read it they can write it they have full access to your |
[3249.70 --> 3253.70] code they have your github token they can write to your github i don't think any of these companies |
[3253.70 --> 3257.78] are malicious but just from a security standpoint you don't want anybody with that much power |
[3258.58 --> 3261.38] they could be corrupted they could be hacked they are now a hacking target |
[3262.50 --> 3267.94] whereas if everything lives locally in your device and you just push to github or bitbucket as a |
[3267.94 --> 3274.10] public mirror then it's different you you are now in control of it and you control who has access |
[3275.70 --> 3282.50] so and also with jsgit it's not hard at all to write your own your own services and your own hosting |
[3282.50 --> 3286.82] as soon as i get some of this network syncing stuff done it'll be trivial for people to host |
[3286.82 --> 3292.58] their own git repos and even mount them off their own servers yeah because the light the live mount |
[3292.58 --> 3297.14] is really convenient if you have large repos with lots of sub dependencies you don't have to do |
[3297.14 --> 3299.78] recursive clone you just instantly mount and everything's available |
[3302.50 --> 3307.94] i was gonna say it seems like i mean for the most part github is very popular because of its |
[3307.94 --> 3313.06] collaboration around open source not so much for being a git hosting platform that's how they started |
[3313.06 --> 3319.62] but they popularized social coding so to speak and obviously are responsible for a lot of the big push |
[3319.62 --> 3324.34] and adoption for open source and maybe even some growth uh maybe somebody's gonna punch me in the |
[3324.34 --> 3329.70] face for saying this but like just growth in the developer ecosystem you can't you can't uh not |
[3329.70 --> 3336.34] recognize their power and their um you know their push for this so i just kind of wondering it seems like |
[3336.34 --> 3342.26] uh because t edit is so easy to use in this respect by money a repo it doesn't really have to live |
[3342.26 --> 3347.86] on github it's just that's your means right now right and like you can use the web version today |
[3347.86 --> 3351.22] mount to github repo and edit it so if you just want a quick way to edit your git repos |
[3351.86 --> 3358.18] just go to t edit.creationx.com paste in your token and edit anything at will we got uh several links that |
[3358.18 --> 3362.74] uh this will be a link filled show notes episode so if you're listening to this |
[3362.74 --> 3369.46] uh go back to the change log find the episode i think this is 124 if i remember correctly um |
[3370.42 --> 3374.90] uh and also on five by five the the links will be there or even in your podcast catcher so |
[3375.46 --> 3380.42] we'll we'll share tons of links so if you can't hear us or you weren't sure uh check the links we'll |
[3380.42 --> 3385.06] we'll have a bunch of show notes for this but uh jared is there anything else you want to mention |
