famo.us

With these types of integrations plus the seemingly never-ending advances in Javascript engines [1], we might only be a couple years away from history repeating itself: web taking over OS-dependent apps. Same that happened 10 years ago in the desktop, we see now in mobile. This is amazing folks.

The slider demo is broken, if you slide fast enough the drawing breaks down on the edges and clips wrong. Sadly it's about par for the course of what I've seen of famo.us. On the surface seems nice, but all the edge cases are missing a ton of polish.

Creator here--yes, there are certainly edge cases that are lacking polish. This library is not pretending to be anything other than alpha right now (0.0.x,even.) This stuff is young, but those of us working on it believe these approaches (of F/A and Famo.us in general) have a ton of potential, thus we are striving to push them forward.

Incidentally, like the rest of Famo.us/Angular, the docs site is completely open source (github.com/thomasstreet/famous-angular-docs) so that would be a great place to file (or even fix!) bugs like this.

Impressive.

What is?

Thanks Touche! As part of a team that has worked on this integration tirelessly (actually, maybe a little tiredly: some long nights) for a couple months now, I appreciate your compliment. AngularJS and Famo.us are pretty orthogonal in their approaches, so it did take some careful work to effectively compile the former to the latter while maintaining the benefits of both.

The fact that you were down-voted for a simple compliment is less appreciated, but I guess, 'haters gonna hate.'
