This whole thing has been handled quite strangely. Let's compare with angularjs or threejs.
These frameworks have been developped openly from the very beginning and grew based on user's needs.
Here we have a project,that has received 2 million in funding,which is great,yet it's completely opaque,with a closed beta (I signed for it,never got anything but junk mail,no code to test whatsoever).
IMHO it qualifies as vaporware, an tech demo that looks great but with little practical use.
- OutThisLife 13y agoAll these demos perform remarkably bad for 2 million.
- tmikaeld 13y agoIndeed, not even on high-end smartphone does this produce over 10fps (Tested on iPhone 5, Nexus 4, Samsung galaxy s4)
- mrharrison 13y agoCan't tell if you are trolling. On my 5s it seems pretty smooth.
- TD-Linux 13y agoAlso, none of them require WebGL. They could have been (better done!) with plain HTML + CSS, or SVG.
- colemorrison 13y agoThe tech demo looked great 2 years ago. Doesn't even have that anymore.
- dmvaldman 13y agoHey there. Employee at Famo.us here. This URL wasn't meant for public distribution, but that's beside the point. We're officially launching on the 9th, and I can only hope we change your opinion of "Famo.us as vaporware" then and onwards. Ultimately, the proof is in the product. I'm just excited to share with you what we think is some pretty sweet technology. If we convince (or don't convince) you, let me know. david@famo.us
- epaga 13y agoLink poster here - oops, sorry about that, I didn't know it wasn't meant for public distribution. I don't even remember where I found it, I think I saw it linked in a slide of a hackathon presentation somewhere - I loved the demos. I think your new sandbox warning at the top is perfect and helps correct some of the expectations.
- dmvaldman 13y agoEntirely our fault. But if you still feel guilty, the best thing you can do is try recreating lineTime in famo.us. I think you'll find it a pleasure :-)
