It seems like flex-box fixes a lot of this, but at the same time, it could be so much easier.
You're right though. CSS would be so much different and so much more gloriously painless to use. I can even imagine a better styling engine allowing for applications like macaw, dreamweaver to actually generate properly good CSS and thus building sites with a GUI would finally be plausible.
If it becomes big, which, I guess is possible, it only makes sense for the Soylent community to hack away. Im thinking it may evolve into few solid recipes that can be mass-distributed and then for those who want fine grained control they can get the separate ingredients/supplements themselves and either modify an existing recipe or create one from scratch.
This whole thing would be pretty stupid-er if it was only going to be one recipe.
I feel a little sick.
On the other hand I can relate to the concept of doing good by those whom you rely on, a symbiotic relationship and what not. That's a very pro-society thing and I suppose that's respectable.
Wow. Looking at my sibling comments, this is some full spectrum incompatibility. Abandon ship on these videos!
Problem is that CodeMirror's docs for it are a tad confusing and I'm not even sure if it will be as flexable as Sublime/textmate .tmLanguage syntaxing. Anyone got a good resource or advice on this?
For example, I want to highlight function calls in coffeescript, such as:
obj.func '100', () ->
Where "func" is highlighted differently. I've accomplished this with a .tmLanguage with relative strife, so I am wondering how easy it will be to do things like this with CodeMirror.Once this thing goes open source I'd be happy to revamp all of the syntax highlighting for js/cs/css/stylus/html etc. should this make any sense, though technically as it uses CodeMirror I'd be revamping for them instead. Of course this would mean editing the .css files provided by LightTable though, so I'm half right.
It's like building a working memory of design that you can pull from when you wish to be creative. Kind of like when you learn to code, you need to look at code examples and you need to eventually write it yourself.
They have that feel, but they also want some money for their troubles - to justify/legitimize it as worth their time.
It's a blogging platform after all. Their feature set could be done by one man in 2 to 5 weeks time with some experience and perseverance. I hate to belittle it below its merit, as I do think some features of Ghost make for something potentially useable. The project also could be nice because of the so-called committed team behind it maintaining it into the future, as Wordpres does.
