FL Studio support custom layouts for the "typing keyboard to piano keyboard" feature, and I made one to represent the top four rows of an accordion! The left-hand bass side of the accordion (the stradella bass system) is laid out to make playing roots of chords and common chords very easy, and it's laid out using the circle of fifths to make the common chords (V and IV) very accessible. Here is my favorite accordion fingering chart: http://accordionscanada.com/bassrangev3.jpg

Accordion 1:

The 12345 row is the third of the chord row
The QWERTY row is the main root chord row - the Y key is C
The ASDFG row is the major chord row
The ZXCVB row is the minor chord row

Accordion 2:

Electron is tricky to get set up on Windows Subsystem for Linux, but it can work!

Four things needed overall:

you need WSL2, not WSL1
you need node, of course, and that part isn't so bad
you need to apt install several dependencies
you need an X Server so it can display the electron GUI over in Windows-land

Setup instructions, in order:

Todd Evanoff and I just did a quick survey of Code of Conduct in Ember plugins.

Of the top 10 addons on Ember Observer, only one has a code of conduct. Ember Data uses the Ember guidelines.
We also checked emberx-select's which uses the Contributor Covenant.
Github.com has a special place for Code of Conduct in apps. It auto-suggests the Contributor Covenant. which is pretty good/popular.
It would be awesome if Ember Observer recorded which projects have a Code of Conduct or not, and incorporated that into the score.

For posterity, the top 10 addons on Ember Observer as of Nov 15, 2018:

Mirage Includes

The way mirage mocks out our included records isn't accurate currently.

An example: In a request for addon, it includes some information about the relationship to company.

The "relationship object" we get looks like

company: { id: 123 }

codemod-cli is straightforward - but it's especially made for codemod projects that have multiple transforms. For a single transform, we could/should have a simpler interface for consumers.

Here are three ways to share your codemod with others. The npx methods require you npm publish the repo.

Method 1 - global install, using githubusercontent

Easiest method for the developer, especially if you only have one transform and/or if you're not using codemod-cli. This uses the github-hosted raw.githubusercontent link to run it, kinda like running it from a gist. Here's an example using ember-mocha-codemods.

npm install -g jscodeshift

short url: caseywatts.com/graphviz

Graphviz is like markdown, for diagrams.

It's a tool that can transform text input into a "directed graph" output, which is nodes pointing to other nodes. You can use it for architecture diagrams, DB diagrams, documentation for users, etc.

You'll want to use a tool with a two-pane layout - the left side is the source text, the right side is the image output.

For just you working on it, use (shown above; it has more features)

	import Ember from 'ember';

	export default Ember.Controller.extend({
	appName: 'Ember Twiddle'
	});
