Laravel GitHub Profile View Counter

Caneco — Tue, 14 Jul 2020 18:27:36 +0000

This package allows you to track Github profile views and display them in your profile readme, for free.

This project was inspired Artem Golubin's post How to track and display profile views on GitHub.

As part of recent design changes, GitHub has introduced READMEs for profiles. By creating a repo with your name and adding README.md file with markdown to it, you can now add a rich description of yourself.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require caneco/laravel-github-profile-view-counter

You can publish and run the migrations with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Caneco\GithubProfileViewCounter\GithubProfileViewCounterServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"
php artisan migrate

Usage

Just visit yourdomain.com/github-profile-view-counter.svg, you should see your badge with visits++.

Done

Cheating

You can always fill your table with a lot of rows to make yourself famous! But, play nice 😉.

Laravel developers during Covid-19 quarentine be like...

Yesterday, Andrés Santibáñez shared this tweet mentioning something new that he learned in Laravel.

Oh boy! It was on... 😈

Then, 35 minutes later; with 31 tweets posted between us two; reaching the character limit; and worse, my wife poking me to get to bed; we reached this point:

Then a wild Liam Hammett appeared and throw a new tweet:

Well, some of you can say that this was stupid – and you're probably right. But screw it… during this #StayAtHome period during the current Coronavirus crisis, this was fun.

And the Laravel community liked it. I guess… at least Ivan (@jesseleite85) said that this was very Helpful.

@asantibanez @LiamHammett @Caneco @laravelphp Thank you. This thread was very Helpful.

The story of the North Meets South rebranding

Caneco — Thu, 14 Nov 2019 13:55:02 +0000

Hopefully, you're familiar with this podcast, but if you aren't it's about two friends, Jacob Bennett, and Michael Dyrynda, conquer a 14.5 hour time difference to talk about life as web developers.

This story started with this message on Twitter:

Hey bud, just reaching out to see if you have any capacity to put together a new logo for the north meets south web podcast?
Let me know what you charge, etc. :)

Moments later, after I've finally composed myself, I've kindly said yes to Michael and we were in business.

Let's talk logos.
The first question that I normally do, when it's a case of rebranding, it's asking the client the reasons behind the change. With this obvious question it's possible to find out their feelings with the current logo and get tips and hints for the new.
In this case, they were looking for a logo that would give a better indication of the show. They also hinted their feelings about typography logo or a mark that can be recognisable in smaller sizes.

It's time to design.

A week later I call the boys and showed some of the designs that I liked the most from the sketchbook. And it's easy to discover the final picks…

Another important thing it's choosing the color, and I kind of needed three colors to paint the logo I was thinking to get new palette, but I liked very much the old colors… What should I do?
And in the end it was the old logo that kindly gave me the third color I was looking for.

That would do it. It's time to show the new NORTH MEETS SOUTH logo
to the world - even with the cute compass variation mark in the early sketches.

But with any logo the best part it's playing with it. So, looking where the logo often appears on media and the audience interests I've pulled off this trendy designs for the avatars and posts:

What about SWAG? Everybody loves good looking swag.

So far, I love all the concepts I've done, but the ones that I'm most proud of are the ones where I fused the host's personalities to the cardinal directions of the logo brand.

And, just for fun, why not pushing this idea a little bit? 🤣

Well… Like you probably heard on the podcast that I've done all of this pro bono. Yes, that's true despite all the attempts of Michael and Jake to accept a payment. But from the start, I wanted that this to be sort of a "thank you" gift.

A thank you for all the time and heart they put on this podcast and the official Laravel News Podcast - for all their effort even with such a big-time difference; for their time they take from their wives, playtime of their kids; and diapers to change.

Thank you for that.

The 30 logos I did for Hacktoberfest

Caneco — Mon, 11 Nov 2019 19:47:56 +0000

Got to admit, I never did complete any Hacktoberfest before, I did tried many times, but contributing to the Open Source it was something only possible with Google Maps directions.

And despite many of my friends easily finished the challenge last year Iv’e decided just to hit the snooze button, and said to myself: “Oh well… NEXT YEAR!!”

Fast-forward to 2019 to this year’s month-long celebration…

Everyone is feeling pumped, the t-shirt looks dope, and I finally I wasn’t that scared of the “rituals of the Open Source”.

But still, where do I start?

OK, Many pages could help me find the issues tagged with #hacktoberfest. But I wanted to make something different than correcting typos or update documentation. So, why not logos?

At that point I already designed a bunch of the logos of some of Nuno Maduro’s projects, and I can’t say that it’s something that I didn't enjoy.

So I’ve decided to tweet this…

Is was something that I could easily get the 4 Pull Requests (PR) required to complete the challenge, but…

Instantly I’ve started receiving links and more links of projects craving for a brand new logo. So many that, to be fair to everyone I actually needed to write a code of conduct for the offer.

And quickly I created the first logo, then the second, then the third, and like that four logos were already done.
So in a day I’ve finished the required PRs but I’ve continue the offering and continue making a lot more. Check them out (can you spot yours?)

At the end I got a score of 4PRs+27, and designed 30 different logos.

Not counting the Tinkerwell icon or the NorthMeetsSouth rebranding.

Some logos were more challenging, others fun to make, and some not even get approved. But despite everything it was an awesome experience.

Thank you all.

And obviously, I could not forget that I even Eric Barnes helped me with a couple of logos during the hack.
