SpecDB

SpecDB is a beautiful and easy-to-use AMD equivalent to Intel's ARK. It's powered by Mithril and Browserify on the front-end, and has no backend (just static files).

SpecDB (master branch) is live at https://specdb.info/, and the beta branch is deployed at https://beta.specdb.info/

Look at the wiki for more detailed technical info than this readme!

Setting up

  1. Clone the rep
  2. Move to cloned directory
  3. Update your Node.js to latest version (see https://nodejs.org )
  4. Run npm install to get Node.js dependencies
  5. On *nix (Linux, Mac, BSD, etc), run build/build.bash from the cloned directory to build. On windows, do build\build-win.bat

Note: we previously recommended running npm run build to build. This is no longer recommended because npm introduces a significant performance overhead for some reason, and would be hard to make cross-platform. That being said, it will still work and just runs build/build.bash internally.

Then, you can view SpecDB at file:///home/markasoftware/whatever/specdb/, which should be good enough for development. You may wish to use a proper file server, like Nginx, instead.

Contributing

Specs are in the specs/ folder. You can probably see how they're done by looking at the files there, but there's more detailed documentation in the wiki. Additionally, some rudimentary Node.js scripts which can be used to make part creation a bit easier are there.

To contribute, please make a fork, and in your fork branch off from master to something like myusername-bulldozer-cpus, and when making a pull request, go from that branch to beta.

BrowserStack

BrowserStack logo

Browserstack won't let me get their open-source plan without including their logo here. I can tell they really love open source and aren't just trying to get free advertising. Especially since the Browserstack backend/whatever is used to do real-device testing remotely isn't open source. But whatever, they're the only ones who provide decent real-device testing so I guess I have to use them because I don't want to buy Apple shit.
