Status Update

[Christoph Dorn]

I just wanted to give everyone a quick update as to where things are headed for DeveloperCompanion.

As you may be aware, a major goal of devcomp is to allow you to plug in custom tools that have a UI & back-end component so you can interact with the internals of your applications. Making this work *easily* and cross-platform has been the focus of my work since the beginning of the year and I am happy so say that things are coming along nicely.

You can take a look at the "platform" developer-companion will be leveraging here:

  https://github.com/sourcemint

Most notably, the platform tools will be accessible via a NodeJS NPM module:

  npm install -g sm

This comman-line tool will be used to manage PHP & JavaScript tools for DeveloperCompanion and can be used just as well for your own applications (which devcomp will facilitate).

So if you are wondering why there has not been much activity on devcomp; there is a lot going on behind the scenes.

I will soon be porting devcomp to the sourcemint platform and when continuous testing/integration/deployment is setup for various stability channels, development of devcomp features, integrations & UI will pick-up significantly.

Thanks for your continued support. I can hardly wait to get the new stuff working all together and show off what is possible. It is truly exiting.

Dear Christoph,
I've used devcomp in it's early days and helped a bit to catch a conflict with wordpress, if you can remember...
at that point devcomp was promising but immature and after that I haven't used it for a long time.
In these days I've tried it again to see what's changed and found everything changed, and it's working beautifully!

Thanks for Your continued support man!
