The "Rule of Law Foundation", who sponsored this paper, was established by Guo Wengui. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guo_Wengui https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/08/26/guo-wengui-chinese-bill...

It is hard to take the author seriously, or as an authority, when he rejects materialism and states something like "Physical death is merely a de-clenching of awareness", and he believes in the afterlife.

WARNING: HYPERBOLIC CLICKBAIT. No substance, no informed critique or examples. The headline leads one to believe that there would be a thoughtful analysis, maybe pointing to some sociological research, that illustrates why javascript has gained so much popularity in recent years. Instead, it is a weak protest.

Seems like the "Mods" flagged this as it dropped off of the home page. I used Sacha Greif's http://www.telescopeapp.org in an effort to demonstrate how we can take advantage of open source projects to promote the common good through civic participation.

The goal is to create a prioritized list so that citizens can work together toward those policies initiatives in a concerted, coordinated way regardless of party affiliation. It doesn't have to be an echo chamber if others have substantive ideas. And it is just an experiment.

You might do just fine substituting archetype with template. The readme for https://github.com/electrode-io/electrode-archetype-react-ap... reads: "This "app archetype" provides for common patterns across all app projects so that each app project can standardize on common development behavior and patterns. Its essentially pre-made patterns for build scripts." "A pre-made pattern" sounds a lot like a template. The majority of the documentation focuses on applied concepts, with familiar terms. The only reference to archetypes is found in the first paragraph of What is Electrode, and I think it distracts and confuses more than it helps. If it is a core concept, then it might be good to link to https://github.com/FormidableLabs/builder, but I don't yet see where or if builder is included as part of electrode.

Completely valid. I should have been more direct, but that wasn't the intent. Since you took the bait, I take issue with the seemingly flipant manner in which words are assigned new meanings, and existing concepts are relabeled. While the concept of archetypes is intellectually really fun to consider, it makes more difficult the ultimate project of speaking a common tongue. This is not an orthodox point of view, this is primarily economical. Far too much cognitive effort is required to learn new paradigms that turn out to be fresh takes on old ones, so best to identify them early and move on. But we should be critical as a community to self-regulate, as the marginal utility of each moment of learning is weighed against a million other potentialities.

That was really well crafted, thank you. Much easier to digest than some of the docs. Though, I'm still not convinced it warrants a new way of describing a collection of patterns for various concerns, e.g. a framework.

I'll grant this is a subtle point, but why did you choose to use the word "archetype", borrowing a term to describe what most understand to be generated boilerplate code? Why not call it a framework, or an app generator? Why did you, collectively I will assume, choose to assign a new term to an existing concept?

Archetypes? Gulp? Welcome to the age of vapidity, where Meaning is pastoral and abstraction sacred.

It basically works like Google Analytics, but writes dynamic content to the page.

I'm sorry you weren't able to find what you needed. We really appreciate feedback and would love to get suggestions on how best to articulate our product and update our content accordingly.

As a dev this should help you get started: https://copybar.io/#developerSection

I added a comment. Good luck!

I think this is a great idea. I would recommend going out to a few universities or larger employers, nearly every law firm or Fortune 500 office in any city, and getting their feedback. You will want to talk to facilities managers, though most outsource this function. You could also contact facility management companies like IBM. They have a large group that does work in this area, worth investigating. You could also contact any of your local government officials to get them to put you in touch with the right people. Getting the feedback of potential customers is going to give you the best information to scope the project. Another suggestion is to peel back all the unnecessary layers and features. Just think of the core value proposition after you chat with potential users and make sure you are really working toward MVP. You should be constantly putting features on the backlog until you get to a beta product. Good luck!

Yep. http://rubygems.org/gems/copybar

or https://github.com/copybar/copybar-gem

Thanks for the note. What do you think that number should look like?

Thanks.

We use http://imperavi.com/redactor/ as our wysiwyg editor, HTML5 data attributes, js, and a bunch of server-side engineering.

Copybar Cofounder here, we support drag and drop images upload as well.

Copybar cofounder here, that is one of our primary use cases. Instances when a CMS fails to address access controls for nontechnical people. Even drupal and wp can seem overwhelming to some. The best thing is Copybar can sit on top of Drupal and Wordpress. If you do end up using it let us know, we'd love to be able to feature some live implementations.

Copybar cofounder here, sorry to hear that you didn't see anything happen. What browser are you using?

Copybar cofounder here, thanks for the great feedback. We'll take a look at the mask issue asap. Delivery will continue to be optimized and I dig your ideas on the styling and image editing, look for those enhancements soon.

Copybar cofounder here, great catch, thanks.

Cofounder here, thanks for your feedback, great suggestion.

Cofounder here, we did find some inspiration in CopyCopter.

Thanks! Yeah, we're using the CDN to dynamically display your edited content.

When editing an element, we invalidate the cache on the CDN. It may take a minute or 2 to propagate.

Search engines these days execute Javascript so it can index this dynamic text. However we also have a backend integration solution (via a simple rest call) for people who would rather serve the content from their web servers directly.

Great point. We hacked redactor up so that it does just that, allows for unstyled contentEditables. Check it out with the Try Now button on the landing page, you can see the styles don't change.

Copybar cofounder here. Sorry about that. Please email me at marc@copybar.io. We'll try to repo and fix ASAP
