This week we launched a new detail view for all our software libraries at VersionEye. The new view is more clean and shows some important KPIs for software developers on the right side. It shows for example how many days/weeks/months/years ago the selected version of the library was released. If the current version was releasedContinue reading “KPIs for Software Libraries”

One of the coolest features we added in the last days to VersionEye is the collaboration feature. Maybe you noticed already the “Collaborators” Tab in the project view. Here you can add a collaborator to your project. Simply start typing the full name or nickname of the collaborator. The autocomplete input field will show youContinue reading “VersionEye Collaborators”

We did some changes on the GitHub Single Page App at VersionEye. Up to now we only supported Repositories with the languages we support at VersionEye. That means we have read the repository language via the GitHub API and if it was one we support we showed an active “switch” widget you could turn onContinue reading “Switch for All Repos”

On Friday I pushed a new version of VersionEye online with a big background image from Berlin. Because we have our head quarter in Berlin. This is how it looked like: It took less than 2 days until the first users from the community complained about it. They told me that it is to disturbingContinue reading “Background image for developers”

This week we just pushed the language pages online at VersionEye. Now the language icons below the search bar are clickable.   On the every language page we display the 10 hottest and the 10 latest libraries. And we show people from the community who like that language. Here is an example for Ruby. CheckContinue reading “Language Pages”

This is the java code to upload a json file via HTTP Post. I am using for that the HttpClient from Apache.

I am just starting a new MeetUp in Berlin. Called Geek2Geek! 🙂 Why?  There are already many tech meetups in Berlin. There is a MeetUp for PHP, Ruby, Java, JavaScript and so on.

VersionEye is releasing the 2nd version of his API. Check it out here: https://www.versioneye.com/api?version=v2. The only thing that changed is the way how you access the products. Because the URL structure changed at VersionEye, the API needed some refactoring to. The old version is still working! And the other parts of the API are not changed.Continue reading “New VersionEye API”

The GitHub Single Page app at VersionEye is now online since 2 weeks. In the mean while we collected a lot of feedback from the community and did many small improvements.   Here are the most important changes: We re arranged the design a little bit. The toggle component is now on the left side.Continue reading “GitHub Single Page with many improvements”

Yesterday we just pushed again a new version of our dependency badges online. They look now like this: They are now conform with all the other badges at github. That means they are the same style and they have the same height, 18px. Currently VersionEye offers this badges for Ruby, Java, PHP and Node.JS. YouContinue reading “New Dependency Badges at VersionEye”

This week we pushed a new version online where we completely changed our URL structure.

The URLs are nowContinue reading “New URL structure at VersionEye”

We developed a single page application to deal with GitHub Repositories inside of VersionEye. By Default we show all your public repositories from your user account. If you want to monitor a repository, simply selectContinue reading “Single Page App for GitHub Repositories”
