ctx-core
A composable monorepo web-service/front-end toolkit that emphasizes:
- starter apps & quick prototyping with a scalable architecture
- {up,down}-scalable complexity
- functional-dominant hybrid style of programming
- data flow
- simple & composable interfaces
- reuse across projects
- anti-fragile development
The simplest way to use @ctx-core packages is to simply use npm to install them.
If you want to fork ctx-core for your own usage you can:
- fork this repository
- install lerna to manage multiple repositories
git submodule add <ctx-core-fork-url> lib/ctx-core- If you use a read-only git url for deployment & want to edit your ctx-core fork,
you can edit the git config
vim .git/modules/lib/ctx-core/config- edit
url = git@github.com:your-fork-account/ctx-core.git
- Fork ctx-core & add your ctx-core fork as a git submodule.
- Create a
.gitignorefile in your project with
/.env- Create a .env file (see the .env.sample.* files in the ctx-core directory)

I view software as a creative model of Existence. Software, in emulating other entities in Existence, also exists as entities.
Language, using a schema, provides a system of abstraction enabling one to model something. Language is context sensitive & composable. With the Language tool, we craft systems of illusion, intelligence, & life.
Source Code is a UX to interface with the raw machine.
The affordances provided by programming languages allows one to:
- name abstractions
- create patterns & metaphor
- express one's model of Existence
- create a tool to perform work
I prefer to have optionality over compound planing (assumptions, based on assumptions, …). We live in a complex & interconnected existence; with the potential for a diverse set of outcomes. Complexity, interconnectivity, novelty, & creation is beyond any single entity's ability to effectively forecast.
Language evolves as our conscious understanding evolves…& vice versa. Ambiguity is a tool of consciousness to compel us to explore the dissonance in our current model of Existence. Follow the rabbit hole…and a richer Existence awaits.
I chose to use a monorepo:
- to reduce development friction in managing my various projects
- to utilize patterns across my projects
Monorepos are, once again, gaining favor as a way to efficiently manage disparate projects. I choose to use monorepos across my projects to create value & optionality for my clients and to model abstract patterns to continuously improve the products.
I work for clients that often utilize proprietary data sources. Currently, ctx-core has a starter app that is a quovo portfolio viewer. I am working on creating more starter apps & getting a demo account with quovo.
In the mean time, I can do private demos (with additional examples that I can't show in public) on Google Hangout. Please contact me at: brian.takita@gmail.com
Thank you to all of you adventurous spirits who push the edge, cross boundaries, & create convergence to enrich our collective Existence.
Thank you to those who have failed many times, yet never gave up in following your bliss.
Thank you to everybody whom I have had a pleasure to work with & who has graced my life. I have learned much from your perspectives & hope to continue to be blessed by your physical presence & your presence in my heart.
Thank you to all beautiful souls who grace us with this immersive & thoroughly interesting world.
Thank you to the Censible team for the inspiration, willingness, & for being the initial sponsor for ctx-root.
