Vows - Asynchronous BDD Framework for Node.js
- sync 16y agoEven if you don't use node.js, you should check this page out for the design alone -- it's stunning.
- mpk 16y agoThat looks exactly like what I'm looking for, I'll take it for a spin tomorrow.
- Goosey 16y agoThere must be something wrong with my brain in that the design of the page and the framework make me finally want to really give node.js a try. I find this happens to me a lot. Anyone else find themselves picking their 'meats' based on the available 'spices'?
- mhd 16y agoFor web stuff, certainly. If you're doing e.g. a web framework and don't have a good page, my interest starts to wane. It's either github/bitbucket/etc. or a visually pleasing home page. For C libraries and similar low-level stuff? Don't really care about the layout, as long as it isn't red text on a blue background or looks like a geocities page. Ceterum censeo: Presentations with Comic Sans don't sell anything. I'm looking at you, Mr. Cardelli.
- elliottcable 16y agoThis is absolutely fine: a creator who has no ‘style’ will not only fail to care enough to create a quality landing page for their creations, but it’s quite likely that the creation itself will have no style as well. That means, for you… difficult-to-use APIs, obtuse / nonexistent documentation, a lack of quality (if any) support… the list goes on; and worst of all, it will likely attract a user community of the same type of people, leaving you with an extensions/libraries/modules ecosystem with exactly the same problems in abundance. The spices, my friend, are what matters. (Also, I personally see a very close correlation between when the current, beautiful, website was contributed to Ryah’s work, and when it took off and gained massive “popularity.” Coincidence? No.)
- elliottcable 16y agoOh, and on that same topic; as a personal friend of the creator of this library, I can very very much vouch for his sense of style. ;D
- cloudhead 16y agoWell put, mister!
- alnayyir 16y agoIt shows attention to detail, the kind of mind that you'd want tending to the software running your backend. Not by any means a bad thing.
- amix 16y agoThe presentation of this framework is quite good, but I don't really like the semantics of Vows - I find them too unnatural and complex, this is probably more rooted against BDD than Vows. What's wrong with testing the old way (e.g. like py.test does it)?
- mhansen 16y agoThe old way doesn't make your tests look like a spec?
- mkramlich 16y agoAPI looks elegant. Site design is pretty and the writing/flow is quite clear. Kudos to whomever is behind this project!
