Ember.js front-end application for the Open Science Framework (OSF) platform.
ember-osf-web is the Ember.js front-end application for the Open Science Framework (OSF), a platform designed to help researchers manage, share, and collaborate on scientific projects. It provides the user interface that interacts with the OSF backend to handle research workflows, file management, and team collaboration. The project replaces legacy front-end components with a modern, Ember-based architecture.
Developers working on the Open Science Framework platform who need to maintain or extend its web interface, particularly those familiar with Ember.js and front-end development for academic or research applications.
It offers a structured, maintainable front-end built with Ember.js conventions, ensuring consistency and scalability for the OSF platform. Developers benefit from integrated tooling, component reusability, and seamless backend integration.
Ember front-end for the Open Science Framework
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Leverages Ember CLI for convention-over-configuration, ensuring maintainable and scalable code with built-in generators and best practices, as highlighted in the README's development workflow.
Uses Ember's component system for reusable UI elements, enabling consistent design patterns across the OSF platform's interface.
Includes comprehensive development tools like linting, testing, and build processes via Ember CLI, streamlining workflows from code generation to deployment.
Features configurable accessibility audits to meet web standards, though with performance caveats noted in the local configuration settings.
Requires installing and configuring the OSF backend, Node.js, Ember CLI, and Watchman, plus additional steps like Mac OS file descriptor limits, making initial installation cumbersome.
Ties the project to the Ember.js ecosystem, which has a steeper learning curve and fewer third-party resources compared to more popular frameworks like React.
Accessibility audits can consume 100% CPU as warned in the README, indicating potential performance issues during development and testing.
