These days, most of my work is very related to the online world. Building web sites, reviewing web applications, integrating with web services, coordinating people who are far away from each other, etc. Whenever I find a new tool or service or an innovative, interesting idea about working online, I share it in this category.
GRV is a text-based Git repository viewer for the console, much like tig, but with a few extra features:
- Commits and refs can be filtered using a query language.
- Changes to the repository are captured by monitoring the filesystem allowing the UI to be updated automatically.
- Organised as tabs and splits. Custom tabs and splits can be created using any combination of views.
- Vi like keybindings by default, key bindings can be customised.
- Custom themes can be created.

“Replacing jQuery With Vue.js: No Build Step Necessary” article looks at one of the ways to migrate from jQuery to Vue.js as in almost drop-in replacement. It’s a nice starter guide for people who have been using jQuery for years and are now looking at more powerful and modern JavaScript frameworks.
Composer (in combination with Packagist) is one technology that has significantly changed the ecosystem of the PHP programming language. Anybody working with PHP in this day and age MUST know how to use composer. However, not everyone does. So here is a nice tutorial on how to get started with Composer if you already have a large legacy application that you want to split into packages and use composer to manage them – Composer Local Packages for Dummies.
GraphQL is one of those technologies which is constantly on my radar, just waiting for the right time and project to try it on. For now, I’m just slowly moving to that target, collecting links to resources in the meantime.
“Introduction & Quick Guide to GraphQL for BackEnd & FrontEnd” is a new addition to my collection. This article, much like many others, provides a brief introduction to the technology. And it also shows a practical example of how to design and implement GraphQL API both on the front and back ends. I give it extra credits for mentioning GraphiQL in-browser IDE for exploring GraphQL.
