prior-art v1.0.1
Prior Art
Like a bibliography for inspiration.
How to Use:
Install with npm install --save-dev prior-art, then be fancy and add
prior-art: "node node_modules\/prior-art\/server.js" to the scripts
object in your package.json, so any time later you can run
npm run prior-art from the root-directory of your project and it will
fire up the prior-art GUI server on localhost:8081 and write your
prior-art.json file right to the root directory where it belongs.
Why do this?
Because we don't really have a culture - like academia or to some extent the art world what dignifies inspiration and prior art. This pisses a lot of people off.
I wanted to make it super duper easy to cite your inspirations, not just the code you depend on, and in a way that's easily machine-read later so in a few years when this all catches on we can do cool analytics on the whole ecosystem.
