worth to note that apart from the 'typical' patterns you can get some crazy results by tweaking the values. I use it in processing all the time. also it can create a simple but incredible 'cinema' style blur (the stuff you only see on movie credits) on type.

see some extreme examples here: https://ello.co/zssz/post/9skesiflcmsycfhvkdtchw and a mold like structure here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CKxaqKFBF5c/


I did this a couple of months ago: https://codepen.io/balazs_sziklai/pen/mOwoLg


I`m using flexbox heavily on 10mill+ pw site for 2 years now. we had a lot of issues at first but after learning the quirks those faded out. nothing came up in the last 6 months.


I’d be curious to see what issues did you deal with and the workarounds which solved them. Is thawed any way you could share?


I like it but the naming is rather weird. 'vue model' is heavily used in the vueniverse.


It is rather "Wordpress without superpowers"


"It’s beautifully legible" I couldn`t disagree more. The body text set with opensans on Windows(especially in chrome) looks awful.


Care to show a screen grab?

There must be something off with your setup, because OpenSans is very legible, even on Windows.


I agree , sans serif is just not readable. A mix between serif for text and sans ( for headers , titles ,etc ... ) is the way to go. I just cant read any long text that is sans. It's very painfull.


It is scamming, at least in my book. Of course not the one you go to jail for but still scamming. What makes it even worse is the fact, that she talks about the opposite and judge people for doing the same what she did.


"As far as RWD taking twice as long to design and implement, perhaps this is just a question of experience. "

That is actualy a rather bold statement and might be true for common patterns. Scaling, (and pricing) RWD is really challenging for me when it comes to unkonwn things like this:

http://www.itv.com/

Fresh identity, responsive front page. All nice and smooth,right?

But how about this? http://www.itv.com/tvguide/

well... I guess they just gave it up here. I`m not saying it is impossible to implement but I have no freakin idea how to estimate a deadline for something like this. And itv is a big company, with a decent budget.

An other example is the famous bostonglobe.com. Beautiful site, working nicely too, but it has freakin ~12K lines in the css!

So plenty of blind spots all over the place, especially for small teams and individuals like me, when it comes to estimating, scaling and pricing.


nice move... I`m curious how these things will effect their reputation.


except its not... :) I`m mean it suppose to be but its not


Where does Haxe fall down for you? Not many people I know have ever looked back after using it.


I`m not talking about haxe in genereal. I have nothing against it. I`m talking about the idea of NME which is really nice but would fail in many (higher performance visuals) cases when it comes to javascript/canvas.
