"Community" oriented, get to know your neighbor
Turn your home dir into a sort of about.me page
Anyone can participate with just regular command line tools and $HOME
Can showcase your .profile .plan .project, symlinks to favorite binaries, texts, etc sharing in a cool way
Can dress up your "home" with descriptions
How
- Parse ~/.plan
- Parse ~/.project
- Parse ~/projects dir (somebody is working on this)
- Parse ~/.profile ?
- catimg(1) ~/.headshot.png
- Format this all into something that renders well on one page
