Welcome to the Ruby Toolbox development chat. @colszowka office hours: Monday - Thursday 10AM-4PM CET.
Hi @chrisseaton, this is somewhat of a legacy feature. When the Ruby Toolbox started out many projects were not being bundled as gems but were available only from github, so ruby toolbox also supports github-only projects. Their data will get indexed by the site if they're referenced in a category in the catalog (https://github.com/rubytoolbox/catalog)
I was looking to add gems to the catalog but Im facing the following problem: I'd like to add the gems (there are 2 actually) under "dependencies injection" category. This category does not exist, yet, when I search those term in the search bar, I can find a lot of gems related to this aspect
I have the feeling im missing something :p
@fdutey Hey there! It's absolutely possible that this category does not exist, the catalog is hand-curated by myself and the community contributing to it. Things might be miscategorized, things might be missing a category, categories might have a too wide scope :) That being said, that sounds like a very reasonable category to add. I would suggest to put it under the "Code Organization" group. You can simply create a YML file that resembles the others in the correct group folder and send a PR :) Thanks!
@colszowka I'm the founder of CodeFund (https://codefund.app).. our goal is to help fund maintainers and projects that help the open source ecosystem... I would love to chat with you about helping add to the funds received for ruby-toolbox
@coderberry Thanks for reaching out, I got back to your tweet at https://twitter.com/TheDeadSerious/status/1101221068637913089 :)
