Jul 09Bildr Code API & icons
I made some more Icons for whoever wants them (no credit needed). I was doing something that needed some small file icons so I whipped these out. (size shown is at 200%)
So I got something else working I had been banking on. The sudo-API for bildrCode is working now. I even wrote a plugin for the bildr wiki that easily allows users to add the code to an article (the entire point). So as of now, all that happens is you request a file with the ID of the project you want, and it spits back javascript who then places the code on the page in a nice clean box with tools and a drop down to select the language. The code is even highlighted and inserts it’s own css along with it.
I got this idea from github who does this nearly the same way. It’s a little funny because I could actually use this to display code on any site. I will have to figure out how to stop that from happening.
So if all goes according to plan I will have bildrCode in beta version by the end of the month. After that I will be constructing a video to go along with the site that will help show my vision for the site and hopefully get people excited enough about the project that they will want to help out.
The next step after bildrCode will be to build a javascript schematic editor (yeah right). But if it could happen, it would be truly awesome. Imagine building schematics in a collaborative manner!
