Haskell Spotlight

The project was renamed Haskell Spotlight. We believe that it's better correlated with the current goals of the project. Website: haskell-spotlight.vercel.app GitHub repo: github.com/haskell-spotli… New Twitter handle is @HaskellSpot

@fuji_lavender Hiatus is a good word. Well, further progress is possible if: - Someone will implement this: github.com/haskell/haddoc… - Author will do some long-term project that uses Haskell. Now he uses Scala, mostly due to seamless Java interop and missing specific libs for Haskell.

Has the @HaskellSpot project been completely abandoned or is it on hiatus? It seemed great as a new frontend to Hackage that'd replace the current one, but ever since the rename, I'm not sure of the direction it's trying to head...

@Salimp2009Salim Thank you. 🙂 VIM plugin isn't planned, but you can try this one: github.com/monkoose/fzf-h…

Kudos to @HaskellSpot & VS Code extension is awesome. You can search Hoogle & Stackage on web from IDE. I wonder if there is a VIM plugin too . Another reason to love #Haskell .

GHC 9.2.2 is now available! There are many great fixes in this release; users of GHC 9.2.1 are encouraged to upgrade quickly not only for these fixes but also some great compiler performance improvements. discourse.haskell.org/t/announce-ghc…

🥳🥳🥳

The @haskellfound is seeking a new Executive Director. Come join us and help shape the future of #Haskell! We're eager to get moving, and so the deadline is Feb 22. Spread the word! haskell.foundation/careers/ed.html

Wow, we are on the list. 😎

While we actively work on the Haskell Playground 🧑‍💻, you can put your feedback here. github.com/haskell-spotli…

@RaeHaskell uses the Haskell Spotlight extension for VSCode 😊. youtu.be/Su17cXF2S88?t=… You also can try it: marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName…

Want to practice some #Haskell or/and more? We are looking for volunteers to help us maintain our web page. If you have any extra web skills and can work on layout/CSS/graphic design, we would appreciate your support. Give yourself a try,dm us or go to GH: github.com/haskell-org

Haskell.org Committee has a (re)new(ed) member! Tom Ellis @tomjaguarpaw, previously elected for four months, is joining the committee for a full three-year term. Congrats to Tom, and many thanks to all of the candidates. #haskell

Here comes the Summer of #Haskell! We're planning to participate in @GoogleOSS's Summer of Code again this year! If you've any ideas on how #OSS newcomers could improve the ecosystem, please visit: summer.haskell.org/ideas.html We're waiting for your project submissions! #gsoc2022

Now you can support the project here. 🙏 ko-fi.com/visortelle

@marunarh I don’t. I’m asking for the opinions. Some feedback is really useful.

@HaskellSpot It’s opensource. Don’t ask for permission. Do whatever you want if it feels good enough for you.

My wife said that these illustrations are too much for the Haskell community. 🤣 Are they? See my first tweet reply for the picture.

@o1lo01ol1o @haskellfound I'll definitely run the funding company relatively soon, after finishing the MVP of the project. It's out of initial boundaries, but I have the time and ability to plant seeds to involve it in a way I want to see it.

@HaskellSpot @haskellfound I’d expect they’d need to be paid, so the project would need community buy in to get funding (or a kick starter)

@sullyj3 The goal is to satisfy both camps.

@HaskellSpot Is the target audience the current haskell community, or potential additions to the haskell community?

@o1lo01ol1o @haskellfound Then fewer people involved from the beginning into development, then more agile it is. 🙂 I want to be flexible in decisions.

@HaskellSpot I general, this is a nice opportunity to make some slick UX, do you know any designers you could work with? The illustrations are a bit generic (they’re stock, yes?). Maybe @haskellfound could work with you to get some funding for collaboration?

@o1lo01ol1o Will try to play with no cards and white background. 🙂

@HaskellSpot Right direction, I think the overall design makes the illustrations more infantile than need be: each is contained by a card, each card clearly sits on the ground, the ground clearly recedes from the menu. Why are there cards here? Why not a single white ground

@haskellpreneur @_gilmi Already got it. I was 80% sure that it was intentional. 🤣

@kowainik @_gilmi @bind_the_gap I'll try to be careful.

@HaskellSpot @_gilmi Last time we tried to be creative, we wrote @bind_the_gap but this didn't end well for us 😞 So take your own risks here.
