Show your own /uses page

Do you ever post a code snippet on Twitter or other social media and immediately get barraged by inquiries about that cool font or editor theme you...

What a fantastic idea! Love it! I think it would be awesome if everyone (big and small) did this.

I'll be adding this to my site alongside my /open page. I can see how this will increase transparency and help anyone who's curious to know what makes us tick.

Niko Heikkilä • Jun 23 '19

Thanks! What is the /open page used for?

The /open page is used for transparency in stats, metrics, traffic, and whatever data you collect on your users.

My page isn't up right now, but the /open page is basically a dashboard for the entire site, instead of individual users.

Nice! I'd imagine these would be great programming challenges so you could hook that page to your metrics backend or even provide an GET /open API route which would return the collected data in JSON or other machine-readable format.

Hmm. Well, this is above my understanding. Though, I will refer back to this after getting my site up and running.

Thanks for the input. I can kinda imagine how I would build that page now.

Here's a mock up of my /open page. Now I'm working on a /uses page.

As I don't finished my website yet, I simply posted my /uses page here:

Thanks for the tip! Opened a PR.

Alexander Sandberg • Jun 24 '19

Love this idea! Will try to make my own in the near future.

Derek Sivers has a similar approach with his 'now page' movement, but focusing on what you're doing in life at the moment. I love it when I see people using them on their websites. (Here's an example of my own /now page)

Oh yeah. I have my own /now page as well here. It's very nice although I forget to update it from time to time.

Mohammed Samgan Khan • Jun 29 '19

not completed yet but initiated. My Uses Page feedback is welcome with an open heart.

Matteo Joliveau • Jun 24 '19

That's a very nice idea.
I'll set one up as soon as I get my website back online

Mohammed Samgan Khan • Jun 24 '19

though I tried still I am not able to extract the significance of this page. can you through some light on the personal or public benefits of the same?

Niko Heikkilä • Jun 24 '19

From my point of view, reading these pages made by others is a great resource to learn new tools and techniques. When we follow a common convention in naming they are also easy to find and refer to.
