Github March Wrapup

I've posted a bunch of projects to Github in the last few months and haven't linked to them anywhere, so here's a quick roundup of recently notable projects:

  • lib_timezones - A PHP and JS library to handle user-specified timezones properly, with reasonable client-side auto detection.
  • lib_classsify - A partial PHP port of Github's own linguist which can automatically detect the programming language, given a code fragment.
  • js-emoji - A JavaScript library to allow display of Emoji in then browser for OSs without native support (anything that's not OSX 10.8 or iOS 6)
  • lib_autolink - My old PHP URL-detection and linking library, updated to handle multiple protocols.
  • lib_solr_query - A PHP library to turn user-entered complex search queries into valid SOLR query syntax. Supports phrases, booleans, nesting, assertions and more.

Jul 10th: Javelin JS is full of interesting little things - always fun to find out what compormises other teams make to allow their particular development model to scale. The css classes vs sigils part makes a lot of sense.
