In JS, sending the "wrong" number of arguments is frequently a feature. There's no concept of language-level function overloading, and it allows for the authorship of functions that take a variable or unbounded number of argu

Although Firebug has "fire" in the name, it is not an official Mozilla project. It's an independent group of developers (though naturally, many are Mozilla contributors). That independence is important, as competition always

Bootstrap trades initial learning curve for huge expressibility. The column 'hieroglyphics' allow responsive behavior and column size to be declared in a single token. Semantic UI looks great, but the mud flinging tastes sour.

That's fair, but other than that, I'm curious what there is. CSS is still bad at grids without pretending they're tables, but Flexbox has solved most of the other limitations.

Legit question: what about a tree view do you not think is possible with HTML/CSS/JS?

There is, but only if you can place a manifest file[1] on the domain where the app resides. Any website can trigger installation of an app via an API[2]. [1] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Apps&#

The app is also in your Applications directory, and you can Ctrl-click the icon in there.

It wasn't announced, sadly. I consider it a 'best kept secret'.

Yessir! Developers can submit apps with the notion that they can run on Firefox Desktop, and it will work.

<x-slider> and <x-datepicker> are sorta unique amongst the components in that they are polyfill components- they do things that some browsers already do, but many don't do yet. They're also some of the most popular UI

Hey there! Brick developer here. You can use Brick along side another framework. Because the interface for Brick components is the DOM, they work out-of-the-box with template systems in existing frameworks. We're not trying to replace

We were torn whether to call the current state of things alpha or beta, but yes, these are not ready for prime time. Where we and some other orgs disagree is that things should be kept secret until they're 'ready', when outsi

That likely won't happen on your real phone :) Thanks though! I'll file an issue for that if one hasn't already been.

We're actually not using the Polymer Web Components shim- it attempts to simulate Shadow DOM by overriding DOM Methods(!), which didn't seem necessary.

Hi! I work on Brick. Yes, there are still rough edges on these components, and we're putting them out there in the hopes of getting feedback and bug reports- a traditional beta.

Given that the standard is well-locked down on those bits of CSS3, why not support the un-prefixed version? I'm not saying you have to stop supporting the prefixed version - I know that would cause all manner of compat issues.

Legitimately excited to see Blink-based Chrome released. However, Chrome 28 still does not support un-prefixed CSS transitions, transforms, and animations. What gives?? http://www.chromium.org/blink#vendor-prefixes
