I agree about that specific patterns post being a bad example... but if you google for "react patterns" you won't be starved for examples of more terrible drivel. That's just what's out there, people repeat it ad na

Yes, it's bad code, and aren't we all having fun laughing at the anonymous dev who wrote it. However , I've seen this kind of code in the wild, and I'd be shocked if you hadn't, too. _Who_ wrote it matters a lot le

I was one of the Ello devs (mobile, then web, then backend, then all of it). My guess is that you'll have some diehard fans early on - Ello did, and they stayed to the end (thanks!) and they'll bemoan every single change - just ro

It's built using Hydrogen, our headless CMS and yes it is powered by Remix.

There is a very common thread here- the objc users are happy where they're at, the Swift fans don't understand and want to tell them why their opinion is wrong. My god, sit down and just nod and say to totals "oh you like Obj

Has anyone mentioned the Book of the Long Sun by Gene Wolfe? If not, I will, and if so, I second it. Other favorites are Ted Chiang's stories, Children of Time, Dune, and if you want some real escapist but thoroughly fun pulpy hilarity

Just a fun "experiment in code". Enjoy!

I've been enjoying RubyMotion since its inception, so I'm always surprised by how many people haven't tried it. It's been a huge boon to writing apps. I cut my teeth on app builder/interface builder about 10 year

Yes, XML based layouts work just like they do in traditional Android development. And to chrisdevereux's point, we've already got some Android support in MotionKit.

If you already have a comfortable work flow, I would not encourage you to migrate just for the sake of it, but having the option to write a native app in Ruby is very compelling to a lot of people who might otherwise not be interested in w

Hi James, it's mostly my fault that your PR hasn't been merged. We tend to focus a lot on the compiler, and less on the Rake commands, but I'll try and get these PRs taken care of soon.

I think the gains are huge, but it depends on your preferred workflow. I know some traditional Xcode developers who kick and scream at the idea of loosing their IDE, whereas I prefer to live in the terminal. Workflow is one thing, but then

Yeah I really don't keep up with stack overflow; if I could get emails from SO that I could reply to, I would have a much easier time helping out there. See you in #rubymotion! :-D

And make sure to also check out the physics debug draw video! http://vimeo.com/71388927 This is such a cool project, and Juan has been working is A off on it! Glad to see it released!

I've never seen a better tool for rapid prototyping a working iOS app... and it plays nice with teacup, pixate, all the friends! Reminds me somehow of Sinatra - e.g. Promotion : Cocoa :: Sinatra : Rails

I doubt this has ever been tried, but I seriously doubt it... the compiler does a lot of work looking at the Cocoa frameworks to build the bridgesupport files. Are GNUStep frameworks built the same way?

The closest thing I know about is Kivy.

I haven't done a larger project, but I did port a small project by starting with just the AppDelegate. It was easier to first turn the xcode project/obj-c code into a library, and compile it as such. The classes "just worked", and with al

Yes, and Shizuo Fujita and Laurent are THE top contributors. Both HipByte employees. Matt's last commit was two years ago: f6908b2 - 2011-04-28 21:50:28 -0700 fixed a stupid bug in the Xcode4 template (Matt Aimonetti)

Disagree. And that's why we have RubyMotion! :-)

by colinta 13y ago
If you don't like RubyMotion, then don't buy a license. Plain as that! Thanks Laurent, Shizuo, and the FANTASTIC RubyMotion community!

name is resolved, so all the trolls and snipes that are hung up on the NAME instead of the PRODUCT, please continue your trolling and sniping, but on a new topic (like this comment! it's perfect!) https://github.com/colinta/motion-xray

Thanks! PonyDebugger is solid, though, and much more useful from when you're at a computer. This project is all about getting debugging information from your device .

by colinta 13y ago
That's correct - RubyMotion only for now.

by colinta 13y ago
do you want me to change the name? Edit: I'm brainstorming names on the rubymotion google group. F-ing naming, it's so annoying. I'll try and get it renamed soon.

by colinta 13y ago
I spent a long time trying to find similar things to what I was building, and of course now I'm finding out about PonyDebugger and this tool. Different, though, because Kiln is meant to be more generic, and pluggable.

nope, never heard of it.

Who is the "you" you're referring to? Me? I hope not, I'm really enjoying RubyMotion. Would I recommend it to a company that only does iOS development? heck no. How about a RoR company that wants to do some iOS development? Now we're
