The docs include a recipe for Breton crêpes. :)<p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/guardian/frontend/blob/master/docs/99-archives/crepes.md" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/guardian/frontend/blob/master/docs/99-arc...</a>
One more reason to support them. Even if you don't always agree with their opinions, it's nice to move away from commercial journalism and keep things as open and transparent as possible.
IANAL, but this seems to collide with their EULA with Commercial Type [1], since third party hosting of the font files is "strictly prohibited" and the font files are in fact all available in the repo, which certainly doesn't sound like "reasonable effort to prevent access/use by unlicensed parties".<p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/guardian/frontend/blob/88cfa609c73545085c3e5f3921631ec344a3eb83/static/src/fonts/Commercial%20Type%20EULA%20Web-general.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/guardian/frontend/blob/88cfa609c73545085c...</a>
I was surprised that they chose Make for the frontend assets, but sticked to SBT for the scala app. Wouldn't it make sens to have everything under one build system, _especially_ because SBT is an absolute pain to work with?<p>This comment is a subjective personal view. If you like SBT, please say it out loud.
Great idea for recruitment. Also, didn't knew it is mostly Scala with server-side templates, though their comment system must be something like React or plain JS.
The Guardian has moved to a voluntary-subscription model for revenue - a gentle nagware if you like. No adblocker-blocking and (relatively) few actual adverts on the pages.<p>I don't always agree with their opinions or editorials, but I do respect the quality of the journalism and the fact that they are a non-profit [0]<p>I can't see more commercially-oriented paper/website open-sourcing any of their code, even if it's a (good imho) recruitment ploy.<p>[0] <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/the-scott-trust/2015/jul/26/the-scott-trust" rel="nofollow">https://www.theguardian.com/the-scott-trust/2015/jul/26/the-...</a>
Aside: seems they still have this component deployed, but for some reason it is not the same in master as it is on the site.<p><a href="https://github.com/guardian/thrashers/commit/dd4b41d48e71cb845b405b050f3ada3e73da2512#diff-e408c2ad20b4421c25ecfeefe75c5b1a" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/guardian/thrashers/commit/dd4b41d48e71cb8...</a>
