Week 18 - Concatenating small things

#web #emberjs #open_source #github #help_wanted #good_first_issue #fork #contributing #ember_scroll_modifiers

The Ember Initiative needs more members so we can spend more time on it 🙏 Since my re-assignment, I could spend a bit more than 2 days working on the Initiative, and this time allowed me to do a few first things for the community. But to organize and tackle important topics like the new Route manager API, we need to invest a time that we don’t have just yet. Mainmatter new plans make it easier for small companies to get onboard.

In mid-July, after week 17, I had to stop the Ember Initiative because I was needed on a different project at Mainmatter. It was a bit sad for me to stop when we were so close to releasing Vite support for the inspector. But this is how it is, and now I am back on the Ember Initiative! 🎉

Weeks 16 & 17 - Moving forward on the new plan

New backers for the Ember Initiative #

We’ve got new sponsorships for the Ember Initiative! 🎉 This means we have enough budget to work until September. This should be enough time to finish the Inspector’s compatibility piece and unblock Vite users. If possible, we will have started the next topic by this time.

Week 15 - Reworking the plan

#web #emberjs #ember_inspector #rfc #embroider_compat #thought #taking_breaks

The main event of the week is that the RFC we wrote for Ember Inspector won’t be accepted as is. The compatibility part of it is roughly ok, but what the Ember Inspector should be in the future should be redesigned more drastically. In other words, we designed a solution based on how to reuse existing pieces, but the Core Team is unhappy with the existing pieces in the first place.

Week 14 - Ember Inspector & preparing Ember Fest

#web #emberjs #ember_inspector #ember_fest #auto_reveal

There was not much coding this week. The primary goal was to draft the first version of the RFC so that the core team could challenge it. And to draft the RFC, I had to investigate more about the relevance of what the inspector currently imports.

Week 13 - Ember Inspector blog post & manual testing tips

#web #emberjs #blog_post #ember_inspector #vite #npx #pnpm_dlx

I promised it last week, here it is! I wrote the blog post The road to Vite support for the Ember Inspector. It will explain everything my team is doing with the Ember Inspector in the big lines: what’s the problem, what’s the plan, where we are… Everything I mentioned in the past weeks, but after taking a step back now that we are making proper progress.

Little break and come back

#web #emberjs #ember_inspector

For budget reasons, the Ember Initiative stopped on April 25th. After a one-month break working on another project and enjoying vacation, the Ember Initiative started again on May 20th.

Week 10 - Ember Inspector feat. Embroider

#web #emberjs #ember_inspector #vite #embroider #addons #blog_post

I am posting this summary a few days late since I couldn’t work on it last Friday, but here it is. Unfortunately, it might be my last Ember Initiative weekly update for a while, unless the Initiative receives more support. But let’s start with the good news and return to this later.

Week 9 - a plan for Ember Inspector

#web #emberjs #docs_writing #ember_inspector #vitejs #embroider #virtual_files

This week was a lonely week for me since both my coworkers and my manager were on vacation. I had to move forward with all the topics we had on the table, and I focused on three of them: improving ember-vite-codemod, preparing the communication about the Ember addons audit, and working on Ember Inspector.

Week 8 - a new release for ember-test-selectors

#web #emberjs #embertestselectors #pnpm #workspaces #babel #viteplugins #rollupplugins #emberinspector

ember-test-selectors 7.1.0 is out, along with strip-test-selectors 1.0.0. After this topic was closed, I could also look into some issues on ember-vite-codemod and pair with Chris on our big next step: getting Ember Inspector work with Vite.
