How are you using gcloud?

[ryanseys]

As discussed, BigQuery and more example applications using this library were recent priority. Now that BigQuery has launched (YAY!), I'd like to draw some more attention to the latter. Currently we have an Examples section in the README that has only 1 item in it 😐. I'd like to suggest we add a couple more and vow to maintain them. Simple is better.

stephenplusplus/gcloud-keystore seems promising. So, @stephenplusplus, can we add this to the list?

Please list ideas for more examples we can implement or other example repos!

Included so far:

• gitnpm
• gcloud-keystore

TodoMVC will be launching very soon, so that will be nice to have in there. We definitely could maintain a list of implementations and extensions, maybe in a wiki instead of the readme, with the goal of letting users add in their own.

I'm happy to whip up some example apps, though I honestly prefer articles/guides and good docs/ readers readmes over "official" dummy apps and such. Happy to write those too :)

I love the idea of a wiki for examples. I agree, docs are more easily maintainable and have a narrow scope that the user understands where as dummy apps tend to have a larger scope but more narrow use case and are less maintainable.

A good way to prove ourselves is to create something that has real world use and uses gcloud node. TodoMVC is sort of that, but mostly developed an educational tool. I'm thinking more along the lines of the building into an ORM that have real world applications as originally discussed in #87.

@ryanseys - hacked your post to add a thing I worked on yesterday to the list candidates.

We can keep this open to get more input from the community.

Hello there! Still unannounced (will be announced in a few days), but now online, my project uses gcloud-node on the server side. Here's the url: https://wav.hya.io

@janesconference very cool application! Thanks for the addition. Once you launch, feel free to send a pull request to add your link to the list of sites using it if you'd like to include it! :) Or let me know once you launch and I'll add it.

Thanks for the feedback! This issue is pretty hard to find for newcomers now, so I'll just continue snooping on https://www.npmjs.com/browse/depended/gcloud to see who uses us :)
