anoff/devradar repository overview

⁠devradar

An online editor to create your own personal techradar - for individuals and teams. The devradar editor provides a GUI to manage blips (items on the radar e.g. C++, SCRUM). Instead of assigning a static level of expertise for a given blip the devradar uses an iterative approach, where you define changes to a blip by providing a date, new state and reasoning how your expertise changed.

⁠Features

1. customize adoption levels
2. define quadrant categories
3. create radar blips via GUI
4. keep track of blip adoption
5. full privacy - all data is stored locally in the browser
6. import/export your devradar via human-readable .toml files
7. share your devradar via URL
8. host your own devradar editor on premise with docker

⁠Usage

You can customize the meta properties of the devradar by going to the settings screen at editor.devradar.io/#/settings⁠.

⁠Personal devradar

Use a personal devradar to keep track of your skills. This can be helpful tool to be aware of your own portfolio or also use it as part of your CV like I do (radar.anoff.io⁠).

For creating your personal devradar the NIH proficiency scale⁠ may be a good reference. The upper four categories of this scale are the defaults when you create a new devradar.

[meta]
title = "Rick's Radar"
categories = [ "Tools", "Techniques", "Platforms", "Frameworks" ]
states = [ "Novice", "Intermediate", "Advanced", "Veteran" ]

⁠devradar for teams and organizations

It often makes sense to track technology that is used within an organization or a team. Depending on the scope you may want to fiddle with the blip categories and the abstraction level of blips you enter. The classic Thoughtworks categories make a good start if you want to create a devradar with a broad scope.

[meta]
title = "ACME devradar"
categories = [ "Tools", "Techniques", "Platforms", "Frameworks" ]
states = [ "Hold", "Assess", "Trial", "Adopt" ]

⁠Host your own

Hosting your own devradar editor only requires a docker daemon

docker run --rm -p 8080:80 anoff/devradar-editor
