You've been an immense part of my career without knowing it. You're the reason why I'm still passionate about programming and can live comfortably as a senior developer. I'm having fun sharing all the online knowledge you taught me with my not-so-passionate coworkers. They appreciate it and it is all thanks to you. I keep believing PHP ecosystem is going strong and it has a bright future ahead.
I would like to take the time to give back through my modest contribution.
I identified an unfulfilled need while I was being frustrated of not finding a reliable (at least according to my standards) library to do spellchecking easily from PHP.
I decided it would be a good candidate to finally achieved my goal. I though it would be a matter of 3-4 weeks of work.
It took me 11 months, not of actual work though. But it was hard. I felt alone, overwhelmed, being too perfectionist, not confident on the real world usage and at some point real life caught up.
Eventually I made the last final push at the end of this year, as I feel I reached a state I'm proud of I present it to you.
On a bright side, I also learned a freakin' ton !
* Travis CI * docker / docker-compose * Makefile * Packagist publishing * Documentation (I've built my own generator !) * Github Pages * Spellcheckers algorithms and features, * and so much more.
I hope you'll find it good enough to star it and give it visibility, that sounds cheesy writing it and I would probably ignore it myself if I read it in a post but now that I'm on the other side... I understand how much it can help the author and the community if it's deserved.
Happy new year everyone.
