A collaborative website hosting the Hackday Manifesto, allowing developers to add themselves as supporters.
The Hackday Manifesto site is a web platform that hosts the Hackday Manifesto, a community-driven set of principles for organizing hack days. It allows developers to add themselves as supporters through a GitHub-based contribution workflow and provides tools for editing the manifesto content. The site is built with Lektor and runs locally using Docker for development.
Developers, organizers, and community members interested in hack day principles who want to contribute or show support for the manifesto. It's particularly useful for those familiar with GitHub workflows and static site generation.
It offers a simple, collaborative way to maintain and showcase community support for the Hackday Manifesto, with an easy contribution process and local development setup. Unlike generic documentation sites, it's specifically tailored for community engagement around hack day principles.
The Hackday Manifesto
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Allows individuals to add themselves as supporters via GitHub pull requests with a clear, template-based file structure, as detailed in the README's step-by-step instructions.
Manifesto content is stored in Markdown and editable through a text editor or Lektor admin interface, enabling easy updates without deep technical knowledge.
Provides a Docker-compose configuration for running the site locally with live previews, streamlining development and testing as outlined in the running locally section.
Built around open collaboration with straightforward contribution workflows, fostering community involvement and support for the manifesto principles.
Relies on Lektor, a less popular static site generator with a smaller community and fewer plugins compared to alternatives like Hugo or Jekyll, which may limit customization.
The contribution process is limited to GitHub pull requests, excluding users without GitHub accounts or those uncomfortable with git, as noted in the workflow requirements.
Local development requires Docker, adding complexity for developers who prefer native installations or have limited Docker experience, with no alternative setup provided in the README.
