Making an Awesome Open Source Project!
github @xpaulbettsx
Pourquoi?
Sharing Code is Sharing Ideas
None
Ideas that spread, win.
Code should solve problems
The code is the easiest part
Think like a developer this should come naturally
None
If you saw this would you use it?
Even this: What does it do?!
Landing Page What does it do Why is it cool
Elevator Pitch Call to Action
demo (?)
Documentation You get it, how can your users?
<xml?>
None
Blogging is Important
Mailing Lists let Devs help Devs
Don’t fix user- submitted bugs
Dev Documentation Nobody will ever read your documentation
Developers Learn by Doing
Make great Error Messages
QuickStart!
None
Make everything easy don’t make me think!
None
None
Instructions are documentation of UX failure
SassAndCoffee: As Easy as Possible
Sum it all up, like that guy from Scrubs It’s
not just about the code Make it easy for your users Developers don’t read anything Make everything as easy as possible
Thanks!
