workon

"Samkoda" - Social coding experiment

Above: screenshot of workon client script running on Ubuntu

Background

Me and my samkoda friend have been discussing that sometimes you get the urge to build on your project, but do not have the energy to share on WhatsApp, Slack, Discord IRC or wherever you communicate with coding buddies. This is due to both not wanting to potentially interrupt/disturb, but also that it takes energy to write stuff, however small. :)

Instead, we would like to see each others statuses 'somewhere' when you start coding; similar to how the Friends view in Steam works for games! This has some consequences:

It will not disturb/interrupt anyone
There is no energy loss having to type 'do you want to code some with me now?'

Install and run client

Make sure you have Python 3.6+ available
Download "client/workon.py"
In a terminal, write:

python3 workon.py <projectname>

Then follow instructions!

Below untranslated How-to for Windows .bat file

Hur bygger man en .bat fil som startar ens editor och en PowerShell i projektets .venv?

Ändra på cmdline= raden i mittprojekt.ini till hela sökvägen till editorn. Viktigt: "..." runtom!
Bygg en mittprojekt.bat fil som pekar ut Activate.ps1 och kör workon

start powershell.exe -noexit -file "mittprojekt\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1"
python workon.py mittprojekt

Exempel på struktur på hårddisken:

C:\projekt\MittProjekt\
- Här ligger projektets filer
C:\projekt\MittProjekt\venv
- Virtuell environment för projektet
C:\projekt\workon.py
- workon ligger "ovanför"
C:\projekt\mittprojekt.ini
- workon-cfg-script
C:\projekt\mittprojekt.bat
- startscript

Hur kör man klienttesterna?

cd client
python3 test_client.py

Hur kör man servern?

TBD
