Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
The polyPod
At the moment, the polyPod is essentially a runtime for features; small, sandboxed JavaScript applications that can be launched from the polyPod app.
But it will be much more than that. For more information please read the polyPod whitepaper.
Structure
- android: The polyPod app for Android
- ios: The polyPod app for iOS
- podjs: A polyPod implementation that runs in a regular browser
- features: polyPod features
- core: The polyPod core modules
- build: The build logic
- assets: Assets shared across the polyPod and features.
Requirements
Just Node.js version 16.x or newer.
Building
Just execute:
$ ./build.js
This will build the cross platform code base - mainly the core code and bundled features.
After this you can build android, ios, or try one of the features, e.g. features/example.
(Yes, we have a custom build script, you can read more about why here if you're curious.)
Testing
To run the tests, just execute:
$ ./build.js test
To run the linter:
$ ./build.js lint
Please note that this won't trigger tests or linting for non-JS code, for example android.
If linting reveals some error, they can be fixed with
$ ./build.js lintfix
Branches
Ongoing development is happening in the main branch. We aim to keep it stable
at all times, but it is not as thoroughly tested as our releases. This is the
branch to make contributions against.
We prepare releases in the release branch. If no release is in progress, it
reflects the state of the last release we made.
Security
Please read the SECURITY document on how to report potential security vulnerabilities in polyPod and where to find polypoly's Vulnerability Disclosure Policy.
