= Ciro Santilli's minor projects
{c}
Major projects can be seen at: <the most important projects done by Ciro Santilli>{full}.
These are some smaller projects that <Ciro Santilli> carried out. They are all either for fun, or misguided use of his time done by an younger self:
* small naughty stuff is listed at: <Ciro Santilli's naughty projects>{full}
* Because Ciro <OurBigBook.com>[cares about education], around 2014 he looked into markup languages and version control for books, before he noticed that this approach was useless and that ranking algorithms are all that matter:
* <GitLab>: very important to Ciro because he wanted to base https://github.com/booktree/booktree[Booktree] on it.
He was https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/graphs/contributors?from=2013-01-01&to=2015-01-01&type=a[the number 2 contributor from 2013 to 2015].
He implemented some large features and several smaller improvements.
For this reason, Ciro was made a moderator of https://www.reddit.com/r/gitlab[/r/gitlab] in https://web.archive.org/web/20160524164714/https://www.reddit.com/r/gitlab/about/moderators[2016-05].
GitLab sent Ciro a free swag bottle later after they got funding on to thank him for his contributions: <image Ciro Santilli in a dune lake in Jericoacoara, Brazil, with his GitLab bottle>{full}. He had to pay for the beach trip though.

* \a[markdown-style-guide][Markdown Style Guide]{external}
* <karlcow markdown-testsuite> improvements: Ciro has implemented the test runner a few months before CommonMark left stealth mode and killed it instantaneously.
At least MacFarlane was able to https://github.com/jgm/CommonMark/blob/2528c87c0cf08e02eb3e201c149cb3acf521e0c8/test/normalize.py\#L8[reuse] part of the <HTML> normalizer https://github.com/karlcow/markdown-testsuite/blame/639cd234d71ca81956b61ff7876f37c3cdc5c043/run-tests.py[he wrote], and he extracted the multi-engine comparison to: https://github.com/cirosantilli/commonmark-implementation-compare[CommonMark Implementation Compare].
Playing with this project has led Ciro to find and report many Markdown bugs/bad behavior on other software, e.g. https://github.com/isaacs/github/issues/297[GitHub] and https://github.com/fletcher/MultiMarkdown-4/issues/68[MultiMarkdown-4].
* https://github.com/isaacs/github[isaacs/github public unofficial GitHub issue tracker]: he has commented there so often that he https://github.com/isaacs/github/issues/430\#issuecomment-123851480[was made a collaborator]
* <Node Express Sequelize Next.js realworld example app>
* https://github.com/cirosantilli/vcdvcd[VCDVCD]: <value change dump> <command-line> pretty printer!!! The type of thing that a billion dollar <EDA tool> vendor will never implement ;-)
