Polarity | 11 years ago | on: Vivaldi – A new browser for our friends

- design layout looks cluttered. coloring of the ui to match the website is not a good idea. you cant really distinguish between browser and website, gives me a cluttered feeling. - ui feels slow and flickering after some clicks - double click on yosemite doesnt maximize instead it mimizes the window - dont know why a modern browser needs todos, mail, notes and contacts. we have apps/webapps for that already. - dont fetch stuff from google servers on startup - tab grouping is useless for me, split screen etc. would be more useful imo - integrate a service for bookmarks or deliver an api. local bookmarks are so 1995. - rename it, vivaldi sounds very oldish and boring.

Polarity | 11 years ago | on: How Browserify Works

yea i know but practically it looks different for me.

1.) with tools like browserify i have to look at the folder structure. if i move things around i have to change some paths inside my codebase. or i have to change a map config. with my approach i need two paths. the path to my bower package.json to include all my bower packages and the path to my codebase with two fixed js files. beneath that directory level i can organize stuff how i want and change it every time completely. create folders, move things, rename stuff etc. my script concats always the libs first, then my bootstrap.js, all my app modules and at last a init.js. every project looks the same and works the same. it´s compatible with every big frontend framework and easy to understand.

2.) most bower packages are in js global format. so they just have to be loaded first at runtime and the order of loading things is very clear.

3.) im aware that browserify aims at some problems like lazy loading or reuse stuff in the background/frontend but i am not having to deal with those problems atm. and dont know if i ever have to...

I never use Grunt, Browserify or requirejs. I tried but i found it makes everything unnecessary complicated. Nowadays i mostly use a node/express instance and some own modules which concat all my js/coffee files + bower libraries into one on the fly.

"a free space simulation program that lets you explore the universe in three dimensions, from planet Earth to the most distant galaxies."

I always liked the idea to explore the universe virtually and being able to land seamlessly on planets. This was really something i hoped come to Star Citizen or Elite Dangerous. But seems there are already some nice indie Sim Engines out there.

thx mate, that was my intention. keep it simple without sign up

Polarity | 11 years ago | on: Google Keep

not yet but i will at some point. code needs def some polish ;D

Polarity | 11 years ago | on: Google Keep

right. and also you dont need this sign up bullshit i really hate nowadays!

Polarity | 11 years ago | on: Python 3 can revive Python

Why do people tend to just stick to one tool? I mean i try everything i can and what works works. It´s not actually bad if somethings dying. There are always new/better stuff on the horizon.

Polarity | 11 years ago | on: Framer: Prototyping Toolkit

I really like what you guys did there. prototyping is important to show your ideas to clients or friends. But im asking myself for what type of user is this framework?

As a coder i can do mostly the same with jQuery or any other animation framework and have at the end maybe some code i can extend or reuse in the finished product. Also from the example code it looks like it needs still a fair amount of time do get something ready (much code).

As a designer you have to learn code and have to learn this framework to work mostly non visual inside a code editor.

So what is the target audience for this tool?

i prefer gruntjs with coffee, jade and sass/stylus compilers + live reload. i barely work on vanilla html/css/js
