There are too many exciting projects using The Cannon for us to do them all. Here we list projects that we are currently working on, projects we plan to work on in the future, and projects that are free for all.

This page will walk you through how to add a new project to TheCannon.io website. If you are ninja enough, you can also make these changes through a terminal by committing a new post to the repository rather than using the GitHub interface.

  1. The website is stored in the gh-pages branch in the project’s git repository. Visit the gh-pages branch on GitHub.

  2. Click the ‘New file’ button in the top right-hand side of that page.

  3. Name your file according to the following convention: YYYY-MM-DD-my-project-idea.md.

  4. Describe your project below using GitHub flavored Markdown. You must have the layout, title, and categories information in the header as shown:

---
layout: post
title: "My awesome project idea"
categories: project
---

We should do *ALL THE THINGS*.

Commit your new file to the repository using the form at the bottom of the GitHub page.

That’s it! Your project should be listed on TheCannon.io in a few minutes. If it’s not, fire Andy.
