Weekly list of who to follow on GitHub
Our weekly picks for who to follow GitHub. Checkout the The Changelog for more details.
James' modernizr-server brings Modernizr browser data to your server scripting environment. We've covered Modernizr being used in other projects before. Modernizr is a great way to find out about your user's browser capabilities. However, you can only access its API on the browser itself, which means you can't easily benefit from knowing about browser capabilities in your server logic. PHP is currently supported, and James intends to offer other server-side environments in the future, that's going to be based on demand!
Blake's Sinatra and its simple DSL have inspired more tribute bands than perhaps The Chairman himself. The next time you hear "it's like Sinatra, but for...", think of Blake. Blake has over a hundred repos on GitHub, his most recent is Swirl, a version agnostic EC2 client.
Outside of Ryan Dahl, perhaps nobody else as avidly contributed to Node.js than Felix. Felix also has created projects like node-dirty, a tiny and fast key value store for Node that should be ideal for apps with < 1 million records.
Alexis has multi-language skills and is the mind behind LessCSS and Vows, but one of my favorite projects is Toto, a nifty Rack-based blogging tool for hackers.
You probably know Jeremy's superhero alter-ego Document Cloud under which he's released popular projects like Underscore.js. But lately Jeremy's own project CoffeeScript has also become quite popular. Jeremy is the first two-time guest on The Changelog, appearing Episode 0.0.5 and Episode 0.2.9.
