The Unpaid Backbone of Open Source: Solo Maintainers Face Increasing Security Demands
Solo open source maintainers face burnout and security challenges, with 60% unpaid and 60% considering quitting.
Live remote copy-pasta explorer for code training sessions
Long code workshops (like a few days) can rapidly turn into hell for trainees.
The sessions rhythm is usually quite high and attendees often have a hard time to follow oral instructions and advices, watch demos on the main screen and keep coding their projects simultaneously.
After only a few hours, the frustration is quite painful: people tend to give up because their project gets broken and they can't follow anymore despite the repeated help of the teacher.
copycast was created to fix this situation.
copycast = file system watcher + websocket server + reactive webclient
.git
folder is found, you can git pull http://{HOST}:{PORT}/project.git
npm i -g copycast
copycast -d YOUR_DIR -p YOUR_PORT
Open localhost:YOUR_PORT
in a web browser
-d
: default to .
-p
: default to 42000
-l [subdomain]
: to enable localtunnel if you need a public URL, default to false-G
: disable Git supportNote: if you open a localtunnel, the subdomain will be automatically stored in a local .copycast
file and will be requested next time so that URL won't change between sessions.
To start the server and build the client:
npm i
npm run watch
To print debug
logs:
DEBUG=watcher,socket npm run start
