Siteation

What if you could use crowd-sourcing to see how often an online resource helped a developer? What if you could better credit the articles and posts that helped you?

That's the idea behind Site-ation, a free, open-source collaborative database that lets developers credit the resources (e.g. webpages/articles/blogs/StackOverflow posts/etc) that helped them write their PR.

Site-ations are links that you and other developers have included in PRs to indicate that it helped with a solution. Similar to research paper citations, you can then see how often an article, blog post, or webpage has been Site-d by others.

This browser extension lets you view existing Site-ations made by other users, as well as and easily store/format Site-ations for your own PRs.

This extension is meant to be a fun communication project to try and make it easier for Developers to cite their sources, while also helping provide some recognition for the unsung blogs, articles, and pages we find during our project-building/troubleshooting.
