In our last update we discussed how we made the portal more useful to developers with some organizational improvements, added deep linking of API definitions and ‘curl’ examples, as well as two new Javascript tutorials. We have now added even more Javascript tutorials, contribution guidelines, fixed some bugs, and made the portal more readable. Details below.
Javascript
We’ve added 5 new Javascript tutorials to our tutorials repo. They'll be added to the tutorials-js readme and dev-portal Javscript section in the coming weeks. In addition, all of our Javascript tutorials now support using webpack dev server, which means you can edit the source and see the results instantly in your browser.
Contribution Guidelines
We've added contribution guidelines, which will help ensure that if members of the community wish to contribute they know the best way to do so. Contributions that follow those guidelines will be the first to get the attention of the Steemworks team.
Bug Fixes, Search, Office Hours
We've fixed a number of bugs, including one that improves Search. Now finding the information you need should be easier than ever.
We’ve also continued to hold office hours in the Discord Channel, where we communicate directly with developers who have questions for the team.
Broadcast Operation Types and Formatting
Finally, we’ve added documentation for around 50 broadcast_operation types.
