Hello @nin-jin Thank you for the recommendation. What is the documentation web site? When I go to https://sobe.ru/na/mol it shows a form to send money, it looks suspicious to me 😅

What is suspicious about being able to support the developers of an open source project?

Hello again @nin-jin Oh sorry for the confusion, I was expecting the documentation site when clicking on the web site link form GitHub and instead the screen showed a page with a single form, I was surprised and I didn't understand the purpose was to support the developers, my bad.

So OK, $mol will be available on Best of JS very soon! 🎉

How do you pronounce it by the way, "dollar-mol"? (or what is the meaning of the $ symbol that also reminds me of jQuery objects... memories!)

And what is the MAM thing mentioned in the README.md? Is there a simple introduction somewhere?

The easiest way is to checkout this preconfigured MAM repository and start a dev server

Sorry for all my questions but I feel like I'm discovering a brand new ecosystem that I have never heard about before and it's really interesting.

Thank you for your explanations!

Simply "mol" or sometimes "small" because it's really very small.

And what is the MAM thing mentioned in the README.md? Is there a simple introduction somewhere?

Short in English (I just have added more info): https://github.com/hyoo-ru/mam Long (translated from Russian): https://github-com.translate.goog/nin-jin/HabHub/issues/18?_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en

Hello @nin-jin $mol is now available on Best of JS. For now it's only under the UI framework tag but I will assign the tags you suggested. The number of available features is amazing 😄

[nin-jin]

Nice to see it!

It's a micro-modular framework. So every module can be used as tiny standalone lib. The easiest way is to add tags from first message of this issue to $mol. The more precise way is to add each module with its tags separately. What do you prefer?

Could you change the id from dollarmol to mol?

[michaelrambeau]

Best of JS tracks only GitHub repositories so it's better to apply all tags to the project since it's a "monorepo" (you were ahead of time, you created monorepos before it became a trend!), I will add the tags, no problem.

About the slug in the URL, it's generated automatically in the UI from slugify package so it's not simple to so simple to change it.

https://github.com/simov/slugify/blob/0f1b9e267d0611cdca675c9eab54312b6b76c2a0/config/charmap.json#L2

The best would be to be able to customize the slugs and make the API return the project's slug instead of computing the slug in the UI, I will think about that.

[nin-jin]

I think any special characters can be safely cut out, as github does in the in-page links.

[michaelrambeau]

OK @nin-jin I'm going to prepare a new version of Best of JS where we generate by ourselves the project slugs, instead of relying on slugify package, in order to handle properly this use case.

[nin-jin]

Cool!
