Once a month, web developers from across the Mozilla Project get together to talk about our side projects and drink, an occurrence we like to call “Beer and Tell”.<\/p>\n

There’s a wiki page available<\/a> with a list of the presenters, as well as links to their presentation materials. There’s also a recording available<\/a> courtesy of Air Mozilla.<\/p>\n

emceeaich: Memory Landscapes<\/h2>\n

First up was emceeaich<\/a>, who shared Memory Landscapes<\/a>, a visual memoir of the life and career of artist and photographer Laurie Toby Edison. The project is presented as a non-linear collection of photographs, in contrast to the traditionally linear format of memoirs. The feature that emceeaich demoed was “Going to Brooklyn”, which gives any link a 1\/5 chance of showing shadow pictures<\/a> briefly before moving on to the linked photo.<\/p>\n

lorchard: DIY Keyboard Prototype<\/h2>\n

Next was lorchard<\/a>, who talked about the process of making a DIY keyboard using web-based tools. He used keyboard-layout-editor.com<\/a> to generate a layout serialized in JSON, and then used Plate & Case Builder<\/a> to generate a CAD file for use with a laser cutter.<\/p>\n

A flickr album<\/a> is available with photos of the process.<\/p>\n

lorchard: Jupyter Notebooks in Space<\/h2>\n

lorchard also shared eve-market-fun<\/a>, a Node.js<\/a>-based service that pulls data from the EVE Online<\/a> API and pre-digests useful information about it. He then uses a Jupyter<\/a> notebook to pull data from the API and analyze it to guide his market activities in the game. Neat!<\/p>\n

Pomax: React Circle-Tree Visualizer<\/h2>\n

Pomax<\/a> was up next with a new React<\/a> component: react-circletree<\/a>! It depicts a tree structure using segmented concentric circles. The component is very configurable and can by styled with CSS as it is generated via SVG. While built as a side-project, the component can be seen in use on the Web Literacy Framework<\/a> website.<\/p>\n

Pomax: HTML5 Mahjong<\/h2>\n

Also presented by Pomax was an HTML5 multiplayer Mahjong<\/a> game. It allows four players to play the classic Chinese game online by using socket.io<\/a> and a Node.js server to connect the players. The frontend is built using React and Webpack<\/a>.<\/p>\n

groovecoder and John Dungan: Codesy<\/h2>\n

Last up was groovecoder<\/a> and John Dungan, who shared codesy<\/a>, an open-source startup addressing the problem of compensation for fixing bugs in open-source software. They provide a browser extension that allows users to bid on bugs as well as name their price for fixing a bug. Users may then provide proof that they fixed a bug, and once it is approved by the bidders, they receive a payout.<\/p>\n
