Hey everyone! Hexbear is looking for some more core developers to join the team and contribute some of their free time towards development.
Our main need is for Typescript/Javascript developers - both our frontend and our new backend rewrite are programmed in Typescript. The frontend is based on React, and the backend uses Node.js and TypeORM. We're looking for about 5-6 developers who have experience in Typescript and are willing to help out!
Our current backend is based on Rust. Although we plan to phase it out soon, we still need developers willing to maintain it until then. The current backend uses Actix and Diesel. The image backend, Pict-rs, is written in Rust as well - although it's not maintained by us, we would love to contribute upstream. We're looking for about 1-2 Rust developers!
If you're interested in helping out at all, please send me a PM with a short snippet about some of your experience and why you'd like to help out. (Don't worry - this isn't supposed to be a resume or a cover letter!) You can also join our development Matrix server #hexbear-dev:chapo.chat. Once you're "in", we'll get you briefed with our current projects and get you set up.
Thanks for reading through this! Viva la Hexbear!
I'm already busy rewriting the backend in x86 asm. Thank me later
Let's say I know how to code ok from like a scientific computing, python based, self taught base. Y'all got any tips about what I could learn to maybe contribute to the site one day? I don't have much free time where work isn't eating all my brain power, but if I get in the mood, I'd like to at least learn something with this purpose in mind. The logic of code organization in general and using packages and stuff makes sense to me. Learning the insane pile of mushed stuff that goes into JavaScript/Typescript does not.
You're yet again discriminating against bored grad students by not migrating your codebase to hastily written MATLAB scripts
I have coding experience, but not in Typescript (little in JS) and I have soooo little time... maybe after the summer.
TS is basically like JS, the only different is you add a lot of
:anyto everything.
Im at my job, typescript/fullstack developer right now and frankly I'd like to fix the bug where I always have one notification but if I click on it theres nothing there
DM'ed you on Matrix. Been working on learning Typescript and Javascript.
i'm interested (i'm a front end web dev), just busy with a bunch of stuff atm so i can't immediately spend time on here just yet
