SpecDB

SpecDB is a beautiful and easy-to-use AMD equivalent to Intel's ARK. It's powered by Mithril and Browserify on the front-end, and has no backend (just static files).

SpecDB (master branch) is live at https://specdb.info/, and the beta branch is deployed at https://beta.specdb.info/

Look at the wiki for more detailed technical info than this readme!

Prerequisites

  • Unix-like system. Linux, Mac, and some sort of BSD are all ok.
  • GNU make: This comes out-of-the-box on Linux and Mac.
  • curl: Also comes out-of-the-box on Mac and most Linux distributions.
  • Optionally: entr. This will allow you to automatically rebuild SpecDB when you modify a file.

Setting up

  1. Clone the repo — git clone https://github.com/markasoftware/SpecDB.git
  2. cd SpecDB
  3. make — generate front end resources from source code. This must be run after every change to the source code or specs.

The make command will take a while to run the first time -- it has to do all the scraping as well as installing NPM dependencies. However, make is smart (thank RMS), so subsequent runs will only build the minimum amount necessary.

Then, you can view SpecDB at file:///home/markasoftware/whatever/specdb/, which should be good enough for development.

Bonus Commands

  • make watch: Start auto-rebuild daemon. You still need to manually. Requires entr
  • make test: Run unit tests. If any of these fail, do not commit! Fix them!
  • make production: Build for production. If you previously ran make without production, run make clean-nonet before this.
  • make clean: Destroy all generated files. This will trigger a rescrape the next time you run make.
  • make clean-nonet: Destroy all generated files that can be re-generated without a network connection (i.e, it will not trigger a re-scrape).

Contributing

Specs are in the specs/ folder. You can probably see how they're done by looking at the files there, but there's more detailed documentation in the wiki. Additionally, some rudimentary Node.js scripts which can be used to make part creation a bit easier are there.

To contribute, please make a fork, and in your fork branch off from master to something like myusername-bulldozer-cpus, and when making a pull request, go from that branch to beta.

BrowserStack

BrowserStack logo

Browserstack won't let me get their open-source plan without including their logo here. I can tell they really love open source and aren't just trying to get free advertising. Especially since the Browserstack backend/whatever is used to do real-device testing remotely isn't open source. But whatever, they're the only ones who provide decent real-device testing so I guess I have to use them because I don't want to buy Apple shit.
