Nextcloud is an open source, self-hosted file share and communication system. You might even consider it a platform, in the sense that apps run on top of Nexcloud and it provides a variety of features beyond file handling, including calendar/contacts, project management, communication, and more.

If you’ve done web development in the past decade, you’ve probably heard about the Personal Home Page (PHP) programming language. Some love it — some don’t.

As you probably know, source maps allow you to view source code context obtained from stack traces in their original, untransformed form. This view is particularly useful when attempting to debug minified code (like UglifyJS) or transpiled code (like TypeScript or ES6). We’ve made the analogy before, but source maps act as the decoder ring to your secret (minified or transpiled) code.
