• Rosetta Code -- Code Problem repository; from simple to hard with solutions for many languages
• Project Euler -- Code Problem repository; generally a bit harder, more algorithm-focused than Rosetta
• Exercism -- mentor-based code exercises. You send in problem solutions via cli, and a mentor can check them and give tips to you. FOSS
• CodeWars -- 'compete' against others in exercises; you send in solutions and people can vote on how successful (or elegant) your solution is

• Dokku -- really small quick and painless setup, single instance hosting, get up running in minutes and deploy containerized apps with simple git push. Awesome for tiny to small projects.
• Flynn -- slightly bigger and more involved, can scale to multiple servers by creating its own cluster, interaction is similar to dokku (i think)
• Rack -- most similar to heroku, I am not sure if complete self-hosting is possible; but follows simple deployment model and allows full use of 12factor apps

• vim-clap -- general purpose finder, opener, quickfix list display, preview window, akin to ctrlP, denite, etc; uses nvim's floating window, handles many files, can do rg and fzf, looks very nice. Lots of screenshots and demonstration gifs
• vim-buffet -- takes your buffers and tabs, and shows them combined in the tabline
• vimade -- fade buffers that are not active slightly from view
• vim-test -- from your code runs nearly any corresponding test file, can do so asynchronously, many test run strategies
• indentLine -- show thin indentation markers for each line
• startify -- show a start-screen on running vim
• semantic-highlight / nvim-colorcoder -- highlights variables in different colors, instead of code keywords see article
• vista.vim -- display a sidebar with function/variable name tree (from ctags or lsp)
• vim-tabular -- vim-cast explanation semi-automatically align many characters (e.g. all = declarations, a table with | pipes, etc) -- or vim-easy-align which might be more featureful
• switch.vim -- switch between two (or more) different version of a word/line/code fragment (screencast included). Seems really useful for potential elif <-> else substitutions and similar
• speeddating -- I am fairly sure i have something like this enabled; figure out how to disable? the shortcuts work for numbers for me
• boxes -- boxes, for generating comments and surrounding stuff (by using dispatch or a text-filter)
  -> many more plugins, sorted by category: https://github.com/mhinz/vim-galore/blob/master/PLUGINS.md
• gundo.vim -- a graphical representation of the vim undo tree to jump around to any change made (map it to something like leader-u as a stronger undo)
• vim-orgmode -- emacs orgmode, but in vim
• vim-table-mode -- create and align tables; seems a tad complicated

Roadmap to becoming a web developer in 2020. Contribute to kamranahmedse

• Really good list, open source

• Backend (JSON files describing the roadmaps) Could be used to create a small website

  • have each json generate clickable page
  • on each page present a couple of good resources for that thing
  • perhaps let user track progress along roadmap blocks

Note taking is central to the work of researchers. This post provides a list of resources about the tried and true zettelkasten method often associated with German sociologist Niklas Luhmann.

PDF 'Meta-Data' and Formatting Tools:

• pdftk - allows changing page order, extracting pages, combining pages (or image files) to one pdf
• jPdf - similar features to pdftk; allows adding bookmars, renumbering pages, watermarks, attachments, encryptiong, signing, etc
• ABBYY FineReader (win) - OCR and image editing
• irfanview(win)/xnview(unix) - allows batch editing the extracted image files

Annotation:

• Okular - the KDE pdf viewer, annotation works well and fast, dark mode/light mode, -needs many KDE dependencies installed
• MasterPDF Editor - small, fast, many annotation features; -previous Okular annotations don't seem to show up? (don't know if incompatible)

Search:

• rga - ripgrep through the fulltext of all manner of files (zip, tar, epub,..) including pdf
• fast-p - extract and search through pdf fulltext with fzf

Examples

Dotfiles: For organization

• rememberYou/dotfiles - incredibly organized dotfiles, used it as a template to build mine off of. Follows XDG specification to the extreme

Dotfiles: For applications/scripts/usability:

• maledorak/LABS uses ansible to set up arch, contains scripts to unify package management for arch/debian/gentoo(?), contains interesting dmenu scripts
• halfwit/dotfiles lots of interesting dmenu applications, in dmenusearch (uses the bang concept somewhat)
• elenapan/dotfiles an actually insanely scripted and customized setup, and a couple older versions (uses awesomewm)
• wbthomason/dotfiles awesome nvim configuration (and organization), might be more good stuff (like polybar/i3)
• Dauliac/dotfiles - using chezmoi, templating, git scripts, zathura settings
• ruifm/dotfiles - scripts for a bar, latex settings, and odds and ends
• mschwartz/dotfiles -- interesting daily/monthly/yrl backup scripts, install scripts for programs
• maximbaz/dotfiles -- using custom pkgbuild repo for automated arch setup
• ReekyMarko/dotfiles -- clever way of managing secrets: reading from (go)pass output into env-var on startup; propagating that env-var to the programs that need it
• neeasade/dotfiles -- uses custom theming template which can be dynamically loaded? has a few custom scripts for it, not organized very well
• YodaEmbedding/dotfiles -- neat organization, has a layout somewhat akin to my current one
• klaxalk/linux-setup -- vim runs everywhere, tmux runs always, nicely documented in wiki
• kyazdani42/dotfiles -- simple, neat x11 dotfiles
• meribold/dotfiles -- very nicely documented decisions for basic things like git shortcuts, jump key, gpg settings, etc. , especially look into bash aliases and scripts, and how e-mail sending and carddav phone sync is set up
• bluz71/dotfiles -- contains ssh default security setup; extensive fd,rg,fzf cmdline/vim settings
• hexdsl/dots -- functionality and explanation, beautiful (and uses gitlab)
• uuouu/dotfiles -- a lot of scripts and functionality; but buried in somewhat non-sensical names
• Tsubajashi/mpv-settings -- mpv configuration only
• ksevelyar/dotfiles -- complete nixOS configuration
• naggie/dotfiles - perhaps the most workflow oriented dotfiles I have seen - good explanation of tools and general ideas
• BachoSeven/dotfiles - configuration for a lot of different applications
• salman-abedin/alfred - alfred is a suite of scripts, toggling dunst do-not-disturb mode, syncing packages, battery stuff, backlight, and so on
• aduros/dotfiles - mostly interesting for scripts; general open /preview script, phone backup script, etc
• vincentbernat/i3wm-configuration - an intensely modded i3 configuration, with much python scripting. Additionally, an interesting way to manage i3wm sessions with systemd, very organized
• jbh/dotfiles - Contains many dmenu scripts that seem useful (dmenu-vpn, dmenu-bluetooth, dmenu-tmux, dmenu-configs)

Dotfiles: For asthetics:

• maximbaz/df very gruvbox integrated de, almost everything is themed
• shub/dotfiles simpler, but elegant rusty-colored setup, contains some scipts
• nbockisch/i3-rice as the name implies mainly concerned with i3; simple, minimal rice but interesting ideas to get uniform look
• ictinaetus/dotfiles - good demonstration of gaps and blur, some use of polybar (for e.g. spotify)
• alfonx/dotfiles - there's no place like ~, nice rusty look and integration of colorscheme; also a lot of custom settings for programs
• thelazt16/dotfiles - retrofuture galore, especially interesting for bspwm, polybar, rofi-wifi, and smooth volume change notifications (using dunst)
• elenapan/dotfiles -- pretty, unified set-up; especially for vim. simple, minimal and yet function. Well organized;
• alpinebloat -- simple clean elegant; uses one colorscheme for everything; dwm based; urxvt-deamon client setup with image display in term

Vim configurations:

• Balacksuan19/init.nvim -- up-to-date, supposed to be minimal; lazy-loads plugins with vimplug, uses mainly ale and coc for linting and completion; makes use of floating windows; might steal a lot of neatness from this
• GideonWolfe/vim.reaper -- markdown/latex live-compilation; ultisnips for snippets, tabnine for completion
• Scott of Doist - not too many plugins, and good explanation of them (plus suitable for prose)
• amix/vimrc - extensive vim configuration
• rafi/vim-config really extensive nvim config
• beauwilliams/Dotfiles - well-documented neo -vim configuration! Using telescope.nvim and some other modern goodies, could be used as a starting point to refactor into lua configuration

Browser Startpages:

• simple icon startpage - clean with simple searchbar
• simple category PWA - only vanilla js, html, css; simple list of things
• vuejs, tailwindcss, gcal & weather api - bit more advanced example

Tools

Colorschemes:

• terminal.sexy - create terminal color schemes, or pick from default ones
• base16-shell - set base16 colors on terminal with a script
