Maybe we should create a gihub wiki or a pier-contrib repo?
I think it would be cool if we had some sort of platform where we can share scripts, workflow examples, extensions etc. I always appreciate learning about other people's workflows and it feels appropriate to have something like that considering the tool. It's also a good place to increase the documentation and link to related tools.
- Here's a very simple fzf menu i made that perhaps would be interesting to add to something like that:
pfz() {
pier list -q \
| fzf -m --preview 'pier show {} | bat --color=always' \
--bind 'ctrl-y:execute(pier show {} | xsel -b)+abort' \
| xargs -n 1 -I {} pier run {}
}
- I was considering creating an emacs plugin for pier as way to learn elisp, my idea is implementing a plugin with fuzzy selection, execution, repl / paste to buffer etc. Obviously that would go in a separate repository but things like that would be a good place to link from a wiki.
Some examples of what I mean:
- https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/wiki/examples
- https://github.com/eth-p/bat-extras
- https://github.com/vivien/i3blocks-contrib
I think that would be great! If we keep it static it would be cheap and easy to host and we can even decide to purchase a domain for Pier :) So something that combines the generated rustdocs with a Wiki, and maybe at a later stage something more social for sharing/discussion (e.g. Gitter)?
Maybe we can organize a video/voice call sometime to chat about this and hear more about what you're working on. We need to fill out the roadmap again :)

I think a static site combined with rustdocs sounds like a great idea. Mdbook seems like a good option as it will be familiar to a lot of rustaceans, however something like hugo/zola etc would be pretty cool too. One nice thing about hugo is that you can generate it from org-mode files which is really neat in my opinion.
Had a peek to see if pier.rs was available, but it was taken unfortunately. :p If we do decide to go with something like a static site then I think it's a good idea to get a domain right away for it.
Some kinda chat room would be great, I was actually gonna propose that as well. I'm not super familiar with gitter but it seems alright, matrix or irc are also good alternatives in my opinion.

Yes! I would love to get together for a voice call. Would sometime next week work? I have the entire week off work so I'm flexible when it comes to times. :)
Hey,
You still up for a conference call sometime? :)
Yes! Just sent you an e-mail.
