I am opening up my slack for any cloud9 users to join and talk about these plugins. If you have cloud9 specific inquires that don’t relate to these plugins then please post them to the community forums here. However you are also welcome to join the slack and just chat and say hello :slight_smile:

This is really cool @shadowcodex :thumbsup:

I have some plugin ideas but their in the icebox for now. I hope to join you soon in hacking some awesome plugins together. Thanks for this post with the badges and updates. I’ll follow the work in the meantime. I like the sound of the Slack Chat plugin, can’t wait to try it out.

@shadowcodex, are there open github repos for all of these we can checkout? I’d be cool to see the anatomy of a C9 Plugin.

Best,
Mike

Thanks! I’m really enjoying this. I’m working on these things when I need a break from my day to day c# coding.

Dev Update :: 2-17-2016

###c9.ide.desktop.addon.react-native

It looks like I just need to install the Android SDK and load in the react-native example project. So I’m going to really do a separate plugin called c9.ide.desktop.addon.android-studio. This will install the full android IDE and sdk into c9.

###c9.ide.slackchat

I have started to dig into the slack API to build this. The only caveat will be that a slack admin will have to install this app in order for you to connect to their slack. (I think). Will have to dig more.

###c9.ide.editor.drag-and-drop

I am halting development on this until I finish plugins that deal with all areas this will touch. It will help me build a better idea and gameplan for this plugin.

###Jekyll Template

I have finished a dockerfile for the Jekyll template that installs Jekyll and initiates a new site. The way it is setup allows it to gracefully upgrade to new version of Jekyll as they come out. This has been pushed as a pull request to the c9/templates repo.

###Laravel Template

I am currently working on this dockerfile as well as building a starter project/template with it.

###c9 open pull request

I have updated my pull request for the c9 open command. It is ready to be tested and merged in if possible.

That’s all I have for now!

Unfortunately due to personal issues with cloud9 I will be dropping all development of plugins for c9. I’ll still try to support them as I can, but won’t be able to dedicate a lot of time to it. Sorry for anyone who really wanted some of these :sweat:

Sad to see you leave, awesome work you did there! Maybe until soon again :slight_smile:

Happy coding!

Hey guys I’m going to run some updates for the desktop plugin. No eta atm, but it’s on my todo list.

#8

Hello Guys, what’s ready so far? This post is getting a bit old, have you started a new one somewhere maybe?

I’m really really interested in Laravel plugin and Jekyll - love these - and would like to know if and how I can get them working efficiently on Cloud9 :thumbsup:
