Over the years we've created lots of little open source modules that are useful on their own. Because they are not part of our core product, I don't often step back and look at them as a whole. Turns out, there's quite a collection. Tools for sanitizing HTML, tools for managing github organizations at scale, tools to improve performance, tools for localizing URLs, even a brand new tiny framework for microservices. Giving stuff away has a lot of benefits for us: it encourages quality, it encourages contributions, and of course it "gives back" for all the open source we're using to create ApostropheCMS, which is also under an open source license.

I encourage you to check out the whole story here:
