This project was to build a Plugin Discovery Website to help Joplin users to find the plugins they want easily.
- Added screenshots field in plugin manifest.json
- Wrote several rules in the packing script to validate the screenshots
Status: Completed and merged
- Refactor
allPossibleCategoriesfield from hard code to a customized json in @joplin/lib - Updated packing script to access
allPossibleCategoriesfield
Status: Completed and merged
Repository: https://github.com/joplin/website-plugin-discovery
- Built a static website generator.
- Utilized Github Action to automate the building process.
- Used jest for testing.
- Implemented UI using HTML, CSS(Bootstrap), and JavaScript.
Status: To be reviewed.
- Merging code from the demo repo to the main repo.
- Implementing the comment section of the website.
The most important thing I have learned from this project is the maintainability of the codebase. If we added too many newest cool techs, it can cause a maintenance problem in the future.
For other aspects, I learned:
- Using jest to write unit test
- Typescript can be helpful in maintenance
- Trying to hear more voices from the community
- Understand the user's demand rather than pushing them to accept your idea
In the end, I want to thank my mentors JackGruber and PackElend for sparing their valuable time to give me support and guidance. And also thanks to all the community members for giving their advice.
