For a UI framework, show me a pretty demo with some example snippet code next to it and I will read on. Otherwise, I'm not motivated -- this is not the way you want people to read about your UI framework.
- nateparrott 11y agoThis. I can't find a single example of an actual UI you'd build with famo.us on their entire site. How am I supposed to know what makes the framework worth learning if I don't see examples of what it makes possible?
- notduncansmith 11y agohttp://famous.org http://famous.org at least shows some code samples, but I agree - it'd be nice to see a real interface, as opposed to an animation. It would also be great to see how Famous isn't a re-skin of MVC with a React-flavored API.

- notduncansmith 11y agoFor what it's worth, I quite enjoyed when re-frame did this. https://github.com/Day8/re-frame https://github.com/Day8/re-frame It looks like Famous is going for something similar, but I'm not enjoying the reading nearly as much.
- MikeOfAu 11y agoYes, indeed, this approach from Famous is VERY similar (in structure) to both: - re-frame (https://github.com/Day8/re-frame https://github.com/Day8/re-frame) and - the Elm Architecture. (https://github.com/evancz/elm-architecture-tutorial/ https://github.com/evancz/elm-architecture-tutorial/). Of course, both re-frame (in ClojureScript) and Elm have the massive advantage of being in functional languages which allow for FRP, and embrace immutability by default. Can't tell you what an advantage that is.
- zamalek 11y agoAgreed. Right at the bottom of the post they link to samples in their Github repo[1] if you're still looking to find what what's going on.

- jchung 11y agoI have to clone this locally, npm install the cli, register with famous, and scaffold a new project in order to see a working demo of Famous in action?? No thanks.
- S4M 11y agoI agree with you, but when you go to the main page of the project [0] it looks cool and I might use it soon. [0] http://famous.org/ http://famous.org/
- LukeB_UK 11y agoThat's for the Famous Engine though, not the Famous Framework.
- cjoun16 11y agoCheckout http://milk.samsung.com http://milk.samsung.com built using famous. Stackoverflow has lots of famous snippets.
- oneeyedpigeon 11y agoNot a great example: a) US-only b) breaks the back button
- L-four 11y agoDoesn't work on mobile either.
- hluska 11y agoWhoever built that site has an interesting approach to error messaging. Consider this scenario: Environment: iPhone 5c iOS 8.3 Safari 1) Go to milk.samsung.com 2) Milk displays a message suggesting that you access the site from either a desktop or a 'select Samsung device'. For some insane reason though, they provide a link to "Go to milk.samsung.com. 3) Click the 'Go to milk.samsung.com' link. Result: You receive the error message, "You are still on the phone". My conclusion: If they know that I'm on a phone that they don't support, why give me another link milk.samsung.com??
