PHỞ: Automated workflow for front-end
- mbrzuzy 12y agoI'm a little confused as to what this is exactly.
- Cthulhu_ 12y agoLooks like a Yeoman generator that sets up a Gulp config file. And a marketing thing for Source.
- pavelgavlik 12y ago(Phở author here) As a front-end developer you have to do lots of things that can be automated (minifying JS, compiling LESS, optimizing images, making sprites). Gulp is great for this, but it still has a steep learning curve. Some basic setup is easy, but it took us quite a long time until it was reusable and solved all common tasks.
- coherentpony 12y agoSo pho is a gulp replacement?
- pavelgavlik 12y agoNot at all, it's a set of configurable Gulp tasks and a Yeoman generator.
- coherentpony 12y agoOh I see, you bootstrapped some common basic tasks and rolled them all up into one. That's pretty useful. Thanks for sharing.
- pyre 12y agoLooks like it's an abstraction on top of Gulp (i.e. it uses Gulp).
- psychometry 12y agoJust google "Phở" and I'm sure you'll find plenty of relevant sites containing documentation, code samples, and more. Oh wait...you'll actually get a bunch of sites about soup.
- smoyer 12y agoI realized I was old when I tried to clean my screen, then realized "PHO" had accented characters ... I complain about the uppercase-only EBCDIC main-frame output at work, but I'm still not used to seeing non-ASCII characters on the web. My elderly status was confirmed when the Getting Started guide included: 2. Generate initial project structure yo pho
- subir 12y agoGlad to know that I am not the only one who did that :P
- userbinator 12y agoSame here. Then again, the majority of projects by English-speaking developers tend to have ASCII names, even those for whom English is not their first language.
- pinaceae 12y agowanna be the asshole nerd that ruins every conversation? constantly remind people that it's pronounced "fuh", like the German "fa" as in "fahren". met a lady like that last year, has been stuck in mind since then. grrrr.
- pyre 12y agoPronouncing it correctly makes restaurant names like "Pho King" even funner. :P

- duongkai 12y agoI'm very surprise that it's a Vietnamese name but the github source belongs Czech guy.
- pavelgavlik 12y agoI like vietnamese cuisine :-)
- thienlh 12y agoMe too! ^^
- ppadron 12y agoIt turns out there are quite a few Vietnamese immigrants in Czech Republic. [1] When I visited Prague I stayed in a hostel near a restaurant called Vegan City [2], in Žižkov. Cheap and amazing Vietnamese vegan food. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnamese_people_in_the_Czech_Republic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnamese_people_in_the_Czech_...

- sangel10 12y agoHow is this different from Lineman.js?
- HelloTiago 12y agoWould be awesome if this had an option to pick either SASS or LESS!
- potench 12y agoNice work releasing your FE environment setup; couple of questions: "The most used preprocessor with a kick-ass mixin library" Is this true? I haven't looked for actual numbers, but most FE devs I talk to use sass. We use node-sass + autoprefixer and it compiles orders of magnitude faster than compass+sass and means you don't have a dependency on ruby (or php like Less). Also, gulp is much faster than grunt which is especially noticeable on large projects.
- pavelgavlik 12y ago> "The most used preprocessor with a kick-ass mixin library" Is this true? Well, if I look at GitHub stars (not the best metric, but still), then less.js has about 3x more stars than sass. > I haven't looked for actual numbers, but most FE devs I talk to use sass. We use node-sass + autoprefixer and it compiles orders of magnitude faster than compass+sass and means you don't have a dependency on ruby (or php like Less). I like node-sass as well. It would be great to have something similar and popular enough for LESS. Official Javascript-based compiler isn't sometimes fast enough. > Also, gulp is much faster than grunt which is especially noticeable on large projects. Yes, Gulp is great in many ways and Phở uses it as a task runner.
- lignuist 12y agoI wonder how many potential user are lost due to ungoogleability. :O)
- coffeecodecouch 12y agoNone, it appears O and ở are interchangeable to Google.
- lignuist 12y agoI'm not sure if interchangeable is the right word. 'phởne' and 'phone' yield different result lists. At least Google seems to have a way to detect visually similar letters.
- pyre 12y agoUnicode tools (at least should) have ways to determine visually similar letters. Maybe someone more knowledgeable about Unicode than me can pull out the term for it (maybe "homograph"?). For example: 'ö' and 'o' should 'match' using this method. It also allows you to do things like make sure that μ (mu) and µ (micro sign) match. So in response to: > I'm not sure if interchangeable is the right word. 'phởne' and 'phone' yield different result lists. The results are different because it's matching somethings that are an exact character match, and others that are just visually similar (homographs?).
- psychometry 12y agoIt's still un-google-able since it's an extremely common word (more than 2M results).
- psychometry 12y agoGreat! Another un-google-able and practically un-type-able piece of technology.
- pyre 12y ago> practically un-type-able Says you. Maybe if you lived elsewhere, you might have a different point of view (SE Asia, perhaps...). ;)
- psychometry 12y agoFair enough, but I know how to type most of the common diacritics on my Mac keyboard, which is probably more than most people could say. I'm not sure how it's even possible to type the "o" in that word without an alternate keyboard layout, though.
