Always nice to see competition... But I've been poking around this site for a few minutes and I can't find anything convincing me why I would need or even want to use this. There's no real "getting started" guide. No real sense of what an OvertureJS App looks like or why it's better than existing option.
There's some vague performance comparisons, but I'm not even sure what exactly is being compared. One comparison is to OvertureJS+, but there's zero mention of what that is and how is that different from just plain OvertureJS. Plus any time I see React being compared directly with Angular it's a huge red flag that we're comparing apples to oranges.
I don't know, maybe I"m just hypercritical because it's Monday morning.
- helb 9y agoThere are some examples in their github repo to get an idea what an OvertureJS app looks like: https://github.com/fastmail/overture/tree/master/examples https://github.com/fastmail/overture/tree/master/examples Todo.js seems to be quite amply commented (but yeah, i still don't see why would i want to use it)
- djsumdog 9y agoYea, it just looks like another vuejs/react type library.
- joekrill 9y agoYeah it's got some decent commenting around a good chunk of the functions. But there's no sense of the overall concepts. It looks like there's a "store" and a "view"... there's some "actions", and something called a "source"... I'm sure if I spent enough time I could figure out what all this stuff does and how it interacts. But I'd need a compelling reason to spend my time to do that in the first place. Why wouldn't I just use something like Angular that provides this kind of information right upfront? Or React+Redux where there are a million guides describing the concepts and how everything fits together?
