Ask HN: Best open-source projects to learn from?

5 pointsby shubh2336over 2 years ago
What are the best open-source projects &#x2F; snippets of code that caught your attention? I understand that there are different criteria when someone classify something as best &#x2F; beautiful. I mean below properties when I mention the word &#x27;best&#x27; -<p>a) Solves a real problem b) Relatively easier to understand c) Relatively easier to modify &#x2F; extend d) Relatively easier to test e) Has seen an evolutionary curve over time<p>I make my living by writing code for past few years &amp; feel like reaching out to the best folks in the industry for their insights.

I&#x27;m a team member of an open-source React framework for building CRUD apps.We are trying to use industry-standard best practices. So I suggest you inspect the project and understand what&#x27;s going on.<p>It&#x27;s written in TypeScript and rely heavily on hooks architecture GitHub Repo: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;refinedev&#x2F;refine" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;refinedev&#x2F;refine</a>

It very much depends on the type of project, the programming language(s), scope and scale.<p>I tend to focus on things that I&#x27;m passionate about and look for reputable and popular open source projects in that area, ie VLC, Audacity, GIMP etc.<p>This website has several great projects so worth taking a look to see if something catches your eye: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.codetriage.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.codetriage.com&#x2F;</a>

For mapping, I really enjoyed working with Openlayers.
