I used their openstates repo a while back and found it amazing how well they could distill the data. I had tried writing scrapers before for the same purposes, but it took forever just to get a fraction of what they had. Best of luck to sunlight devs in the transition.

I cannot agree more.

Hound is opt-in, it won't ever add itself to your repo and start commenting.

Glad you like it!

Got it, thanks for the input.

Sorry if it wasn't clear in the post but we do plan on charging for Hound in some way.

"We intend to charge in the near future to ensure Hound is sustainable, but public projects will continue to be free."

That's not good. I opened an issue on GitHub.

Here's an example of how you could configure Hound to increase the line length limit.

RuboCop is great, but one benefit of Hound is it only checks code that has changed. Retroactively enforcing code style is usually a bad idea.

Whatever works for you, just configure Hound to comment on lines longer than 130 instead of 80.

Is that still the case? I'm seeing a timeout when I run the test.

Again, we have reissued our certificates and installed them since the servers were patched.

Read the FAQ, this is expected when the server has been patched as long as the site is responding.
