Its' tough for a company to keep impressing customers with everything that comes out of it. That is what google has been doing for a long time now. It really is impressive.
As a developer, I just HOPE that one day google takes a service like this and makes a long blog post out of it describing and bisecting every aspect of the app and how it was built. I'm tired of clicking 'view source' and finding nothing but minimized JS
- Permit 15y agoA tip I found the other day is that in Chrome you can actually de-obfuscate minimized Javascript and throw break points in there if you'd like. In Chrome 12 you just right click the scripts pane in the developer tools and click "De-obfuscate Source". In Chrome 13 you navigate to the scripts pane and click the "{}" icon. I honestly have no idea why they got rid of the right click functionality, but it's incredibly useful for me.
- shoota 15y agoThanks for the tip. I did not know about this.
- lukesandberg 15y agoI think that would create a sort of turtles all the way down situation. Google has so much internal proprietary technology infrastructure that it would be pretty difficult to provide a compelling explanation that doesn't have you wondering about how 10 other google services work (that you just learned about). Disclaimer: I work for Google and this is how I feel every day :) it's a good feeling though!
- abraham 15y agoMany of the tools Google uses to build their products are open source. Flights source for example mentions GWT. https://code.google.com/webtoolkit/ https://code.google.com/webtoolkit/
