Open source authors and contributors need much more love from the community. Those who initiate and share their projects, as well as those who participate and collaborate to continually improve them, deserve a big thank-you.
The intent behind Yo, This is Cool! is to create a space where you can thank the amazing people behind your favorite open source projects on GitHub.
Each letter of the Index page is associated with an interesting term as food for thought, with a brief definition that introduces the related letter subpage.
A mandrake root serves as the site’s mascot: whenever you add a cool open source project to appreciate, she pops out and encourages you to shout your thank-you out loud.
The site is designed and developed in the browser using the vigorous SCSS + Compass tandem, with the help of HTML5 Boilerplate and Packery. Its backbone is built on the mighty Ember.js + Loopback frameworks.
The font used is Roboto by Google, and the emojis are Twit Emoji by Twitter.
