Inch CI: The first month

It has been a month since Inch CI started. Or at least it has been a month since I thought “Inch CI is ready now” and @sferik tweeted this after discovering it:

Looks like http://t.co/EEr2omxJVg is official open to the public. Plus, it’s all open source: https://t.co/RK5IwYFA7P. Nice work by @rrrene.

From there, the ride started:

"You need one more badge in your README." After test coverage, now track *inline doc* coverage, with InchCI — http://t.co/sgY33lor0R

@rrrene I've gotta say that Inch CI is great. Loving the easy to digest encouragement to produce better documentation. Great work!

“Inch CI - Documentation badges for Ruby projects - Show off your docs” http://t.co/UyBchvYGJw

For those who haven’t checked it out yet: Inch CI is a project to raise the visibility of inline code documentation in Ruby projects:

It provides a badge to show potential contributors that the project is documented:

As of this writing over a hundred projects have joined and are sporting these badges in their repos.

The interest in the project is steady and the general response has been overwhelmingly positive, for which I am very grateful. I had lots of insightful discussions with you folks and most of them have let to changes that made Inch better. I sincerely hope we can continue to do so.

You can find me on Twitter, create an issue in the Inch CI project or simply email me (mail in Github profile).
