Notes in 9: Dev Tools Grab Bag

a pair of Node-based tools for use with Domino + XPages

Intro

I’m on Notes in 9 again, with a “grab bag” of a couple of tools I’ve put together recently that may be of a varying degree of useful for other Domino + XPages developers. You don’t need these to do development, but for the right person, they may help with their development workflow.

Also of note, with the upgrade to Swiper with the FP8 release of Notes + Domino Designer, the limitations previously mentioned are no longer there! This means that my second tool I talked about, node-dora(-cli), may be even more niche, but hey, it was a good learning experience.

Summary

I’m guessing that a number of people will regard these tools as a bit of a novelty, but I hope some will find them pretty awesome, or at least useful. They don’t exactly do anything a developer couldn’t do on their own, but they fit into development workflow for speedier development; at least, that’s the idea. I’m open to contributions of nearly any kind, so please feel free to get involved.
