GitHub : new look

GitHub blog announced a new look and navigation for the programmers’ best friend.  Have a look at some of the screenshots, say “WOW!” and rush back to your repositories, looking for the magic “Enable Repository Next” button.

GitHub : new look

 

This being a big change and GitHub being such a crucial daily tool for so many people, the changes will be rolled out slowly.  So you might need a bit of luck or time to see it right now.  Gladly, my repositories do have the feature, and once switched to, they do look better.  Navigation is simpler indeed, but will need a little getting used to, as I have it in the muscle memory by now.  I also like a tiny bit of more color added, as the white and lightly not white were slightly disorienting after long coding and merging hours.

To the GitHub team: thank you guys, you are awesome! Please keep doing what you are doing – it’s obviously working.

SupermarketCy – online supermarket in Cyprus

SupermarketCy – online supermarket in Cyprus

The idea of online supermarket is super old.  I remember one of the companies I worked for back in 1999 was trying to pull this off.  But for this or that reason, it never happened.  I am glad that someone finally succeeded.

P.S.: Too bad they mostly cover Nicosia area currently, but hopefully that’s only an issue of time.

GeoJSON – an open format for encoding a variety of geographic data structures

GeoJSON – an open format for encoding a variety of geographic data structures

Looks handy.  Learned about it while reading the GitHub blog post on announcing the support for interactive display of GeoJSON files in repositories.
