Not a talking point, we just have a lot of conversations about this at the office :)

I have a vested interest in seeing SproutCore succeed, but the point I'm making does not. Backbone.js and Cappuccino are other examples of javascript frameworks which fit the same criteria I talk about. Backbone and Cappuccino have both pro

A bunch of mildly different Javascript frameworks creates a paradox of choice for the users. It means that when users start developing a new project, they have to weigh the benefits and costs of each of the framework. This not only increase

The intro video could be improved, it dragged on for a little too long, but it seems cool!

But then you're increasing the barrier to entry to users. You're assuming the user cares enough about your app that they will sacrifice a spot on their home screen and will want to tap three buttons to get to it...

I agree with most of what you're saying. Add To Homescreen is a great feature for regular users of a mobile web app. Your application needs to support both modes however (browser-mode, and app-mode). The easy answer is to say: "Use back but

From my response to callahad above: "I didn't mean the search field covers search results, it covers the website's UI. Here's another example of it blocking the UI, this time in github: http://cl.ly/1t450T1S0s2J2V0I3O1W

I thought of writing about that but felt it was all subjective and that I couldn't make a UX argument for why it is objectively better.

Thanks for the comment. I agree with almost everything you said, but I would add that Safari doesn't suffer from most of these issues, though it suffers from other problems.

Thanks a lot for your comment, callahad. I'll try to respond to your comments. 1. You're right, I hadn't actually noticed that until after I wrote the blog post. I think it's because I hide the Dock by default (still doesn't explain why I d

You can consider it a matter of preference, I suppose. I prefer having a GUI file browser over NERDTree for similar reasons as I outlined before. VimAck has the same line of thinking behind it.

by jtaby 15y ago
Well, the reason I built this is that it's much nicer to browse the results IMO. You can collapse files, you get bolded fonts, you get different colors, and much better use of whitespace. It's also easier to define options like regex and ca

Thanks for the feedback, I'm going to prioritize those features for the next release :)

Adding support for other editors was something I am definitely mulling over, maybe version 2

The problem with a native vim window is that it doesn't give you much affordance in terms of UI, you can't collapse files that have a lot of matches, hard to remember options and syntax for regex/case sensitivity, etc.

As I noted in the roadmap, keyboard support is coming, feel free to fork and contribute if you're up to it in the meantime :)

I updated the title of the post to more accurately reflect that this is a Developer Preview release. Apologies for any confusion on our part.

Part of me feels like there are few countries in the world that have the same ingredients for entrepreneurialism that American has, China isn't one of them, at least not yet. </hand wavy argument>
