go-micro

After many years working on Micro it's now merged into Go Micro. Over the years there has been a lot of confusion around multiple repos in the micro org and what the difference was between go-micro and micro (not the editor). Both had a lot of stars and I had to spend a lot of time explaining the difference. So now the micro repo is gone. Go Micro is a standalone framework for Go microservices development and micro, a command line tool to access or query those services is now in the cmd folder. Open source is hard. It's now been 10+ years working on the same thing. Technology moves on, people move on, yet still people find things and we all still have emotional connection to stuff we built. Hard to let it die.

Two things. I have revived my work on Go Micro (https://github.com/micro/go-micro) and rewritten the v5 cli/api from scratch (https://github.com/micro/micro). As a VC funded company there was a lot of confusion around the tools we were building and we veered off in a direction that alienated the community. With the company dead, funding gone, etc there's an opportunity to rebuild value around the Go Micro framework. The second thing I'm working on is the Reminder (https://reminder.dev && https://github.com/asim/reminder). As a muslim I feel like it's my duty to spread the word of Islam and as an engineer I feel like an appropriate way to do that is build an app and API for the Quran, names of Allah and hadith. It's a slow patient building of something as opposed to expecting anything from it. In terms of new ideas, maybe not new but less
