Trying to check out Art.sy I don't think this is supposed to render like it does: http://d.pr/i/C7or
Great list of open source projects nonetheless; actually have a use for the fillwidth plugin right now.
It's fixed. Was a data migration fluke in the middle of a production deploy. Also, that was worth it - you can now signup without requesting an invite.
This is slick. isotope.jquery is great for square and portrait images, but there doesn't seem to be many plugins to handle a more horizontally-based portfolio...I've tried a few times to implement something like this and it always ended up way more convoluted than it seemed it should...Looking at the source code, it's not a non-trival number of lines, so I'm glad it wasn't just me completely missing a super-simple solution.
Why their opensource projects are spread over many github account? Why not organize them on their own organization account at github http://github.com/artsy/?
When I want to check if a company is a good one regarding contributing back to opensource, one of the first things I check is their github's organization account.
For historical reasons. We never had a policy around putting everything under github/artsy so it just grew organically this way.
While I do think that finding open-source projects sponsored by an organization is cool, their evolution and governance is more important. When I put an OSS project out there I commit myself to maintaining it and supporting the community around it, if there's one. It's something you do as individuals more than as a team of people - I certainly will continue doing so for my open-source projects even if I were to work somewhere else.
But why does Art.sy need one? I assumed they had some kind of hookup with galleries and artists...Artsy doesn't have to scrape bespoke websites, right?
Correct. We don't do any scraping of websites, the works are fully licensed from their rights owners. This part is a huge part of what we do in terms of time and resources.
Yeah sorry about that. I removed Vertebrae and Sentry because they were over-engineered and weren't that useful. Vertebrae did some things to help with relations and identity maps in Backbone but there are already better solutions out there now.
I am sorry if I am too direct here, but the font color is simply painful to look at.
Why did you actually decide to style your copy text in such a distracting color?
