I really like seeing people’s interesting projects. Even if they are generic or were started just to learn something.

And on top of that, I consider Go to be one of those languages that you can find projects on a pretty diverse range of topics.

So, is there any interesting (or not too) personal Go projects that is in the making, or is already finished?

    I meant kinda like what GitHub and GitLab have in its UI, showing the job status from the most recent commit:

    Though it doesn’t even have to be a part of the git repo UI. You can link an image badge in the projects README markdown that fetches the status of the most recent job.

    Almost every Big™ Modern™ project on GitHub/GitLab has something like this. For example, bubbletea has a “build passing” badge that is linked with its most recent job from GitHub CI. shields.io has them too.

      Update: done! I added two endpoints that a page (like a github repo’s README.md) can fetch to get a simple text/plain “lastStatus:n” or image/jpeg pass/fail icon.

      README.md update

      I find my browser doesn’t always show the newest CI status right away though, even though the server sends the JPG with an HTTP Cache-Control: no-cache. Hmmm.

      It’s primitive and doesn’t give all the nice status in your screenshot above like build time, branch name… I should think about it more I suppose.

      Thanks for the idea!

        That’s actually so awesome! I noticed you’re already using it in your other projects that use bacillus.

        I hope one day I may use bacillus myself. Keep on with its development!

      BTW please have a barf bucket beside you if you examine the source code for bacillus … it’s all inline, raw ad-hoc HTML and javascript to build the UI :). I was thinking of redoing it someday with htmx, without getting too fancy (I am not a web developer and loathe JS in general), but it might add some graceful degradation for non-javascript use of the CI interface (though I don’t know if live updates of build status would even be possible/practical without at least some JS).

      Hmm! OK I’ll think about how to do that, might be a nice addition. Thanks.
