Rack: How do i upload new modules to share?

[Strum]

I've made a couple of simple but useful modules and was wondering how to go about uploading them for others to use if they wanted.

New to git and contributing to open source projects and don't know the form.

The best method would be to post the source on your own Github in a new repo.

Later (after v1.0) I'll develop a procedure for those who want their modules to be featured on vcvrack.com, but the standards will be very high.

Ok, thanks, not really sure how to make a repo but I can learn.

I've made a stereo mixer with pan and a dual 1 to 5 multiple so far.

I was going to work on a clock divider/multiplier next and had ideas for a pitch quantizer and a chord generator module like the Q-bit chord. Heaps of things actually, the code is so clean developing new modules is easy. Great work.

If you could give me some guidelines as to what you are looking for in 3rd party modules it might help me in my development.

Thanks again.

I have absolutely no standing in this, but I thought I'd mention that there are already (at least) two plugin projects on GH: vcvrackplugins_dekstop & vcvrackplugins_av500
My point in bringing this up: I love the naming convention - easy to search for, keeps the plugins directory in the main Rack repo nice and tidy...

[dekstop]

A further emerging convention: tag the project with "vcvrack", so it becomes very easy to find new projects: https://github.com/search?q=topic%3Avcvrack&type=Repositories

I should create a list of plugins and their modules and functions in an unofficial document somewhere. It would include completed, in-progress, and unreleased modules, to reduce redundant simultanious work. I wonder if I should just make the Rack wiki public-editable.

[Strum]

That would be a useful resource and might save some duplicated effort , though you know what coders are like, they always want to reinvent the wheel. As for opening the wiki, well I'd suggest thinking long and hard about that, maybe just open it to selected users. Where is it btw?
As far as the modules I am working on I'm not in any great hurry to get them out and would rather take my time and get them all working well, have the code nice a clean and tidy, and get the GUIs looking good before releasing them.

Created page https://github.com/VCVRack/Rack/wiki/List-of-plugins

[Strum]

Cool

@AndrewBelt I tried to add my plugins to the wiki page but it's not public. Can you list my plugins please https://github.com/modlfo/VultModules

Thanks!

I wonder if there is a virtual PAT tester to keep you safe as it would go nice instead of a blank panel. 🥇

And these please:

@modlfo @dekstop Thanks, added!

I think I managed to put some of my sources on gitHub:

Added https://vcvrack.com/plugins.html and https://github.com/VCVRack/community recently, so closing.
