This has come along way in the last six months! Great work guys :)

Thanks! We have worked quite a lot in the past month to push this out.

Special thanks to Joshua who has done the groundwork with others. He's a great guy and it's been pleasure to work with him.

This looks really nice and the CSS is actually pretty good!

Did you write the css by hand, or did you use a preprocessor? I downloaded the code and can only see the css files.

Also you should put this on Github so others can help out with it :)

Thank you, it was written with SASS, but we are still working at some pieces that will let the user customize the dashboard, so we will release the SASS soon.

Have you considered playing with 4.0 alpha - hate for you to have to completley rebuild it if it is an active project in a few months when 4.0 of Bootstrap goes live.

We didn't play with 4.0 alpha yet, we wait for the official release so we will not work twice to offer support for BS4. There will be 100% a BS4 version on all our items.

He said "the CSS is actually pretty good" referencing the dashboard as having been well made within the confines of the CSS language. He never said CSS itself was good ;)

Yes, that's what I'm asking about. How do you tell if a site's CSS is good or not? Looked like any other CSS to me but obviously it's not since it was commented on specifically.

Properly organized, well commented and indented?

Thanks. Do you have any good resources on how to organize your CSS?

I didn't know this! When was this added?

The author apparently had a hand in this: https://twitter.com/matthewlein/status/576068468526579712

Hello, author here. I didn't actually have anything to do with it, just noticed that they included them when I was playing with the feature. Fun surprise!

Hello, author! I'd argue that having your prototype imitated is some level of involvement. =)

TL;DR - Erica Joy created a spreadsheet of salaries, it got shared internally at Google, apparently about 5% of total workforce filled it in.

Google has some sort of Peer Bonus scheme, Erica got lots of them but management decided to deny pretty much all of them.

She left google.

That would be really difficult to do as no two dresses are the same size. Same for male clothing to be honest!

Yes, it's a disaster area. I'll just plug a small web app written by a friend of mine that addresses this problem: http://sizes.darkgreener.com/

It uses least squares regression to work out, given your actual measurements, what "size" label from which shops is likely to fit.

This is great. Would your friend be interested in discussing a collaboration? I'm looking to build similar functionality into HipStat.

I thought this, it's widely known in the UK to be used on paediatrics. It's also something the BBC has publicised before... Weird

This would of made for a much better article. I couldn't agree more!

I'm currently working on a Hybrid React app, performance issues aside the real issue is documentation and support. As soon as you are beyond a basic web app wrapped in a container you realise quickly Corodova will always be a second class citizen.

On a more positive note React Native (https://facebook.github.io/react-native/) is mind blowingly amazing. I really can't recommend it enough, especially for Javascript developers.

I'm looking to use something like Cordova to develop a fairly simple app for both Android and ios,

so far it looks like React is for Mac only, looking at https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started... ?

Edit: It looks like i'm missing something as I can see Android apps built with it on http://www.reactnative.com/built-with-react-native/

There's also http://reapp.io/ It can produce apps that run on Android but last time I checked the documentation was pretty iOS centric.

That's React Native, not standard React for the Web.

http://facebook.github.io/react/

Ah gotcha, looks like Android support is coming to React Native soon, fingers crossed

Really nice work -- Is this opensource? I want to build a similar menubar application and would love to know how!

It doesn't appear to be open source since it's not on the authors Github. However if you're looking for a menubar app example with custom views, here is one: https://github.com/phranck/CCNStatusItem. The example in that repo is what was used for this app (presumably, since the binary in the package shows as CCNStatusItem)

I saw you got two responses, one with a custom view and one with the standard OSX implementation. So I'll throw in another one of the old standard one, that I made: https://github.com/jontelang/WakaLet

I wrote a Github menu bar app for pull requests. Code is here: https://github.com/aleffert/PullRequestMenu

+1 I need to be able to handle 3-5 most days

Thanks for the feedback! Definitely very useful for feature planning.

I like the effects but the fact it only works with Chrome is a no-go for me. I don't see it being be too difficult to get this working in safari, firefox or modern IE..

That is the first thing on my priority list. Will be coming soon.

I'm curious, what is it that makes it Chrome only?

Looks like only CSS transition and animation is special cased for WebKit but that's been unprefixed in Firefox since years back.

Edit:

Seems like getComputedStyle is buggy in Firefox?

    « window.getComputedStyle($0).background
    » ""
    « window.getComputedStyle($0).backgroundColor
    » "rgb(74, 144, 226)"
    « window.getComputedStyle($0).backgroundImage
    » "none"

$0 is the currently inspected element, in this case: .js-modal-2

Edit2:

Possibly "works as intended"?:

> getPropertyCSSValue is required to return null for these, and we implement getPropertyValue in terms of getPropertyCSSValue.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=889091

If so, the fix would be to use the actual attributes rather than the composite attribute.

Fixed for firefox now. Using computed style's `backgroundColor` key.

Splendid! Nicely done. :-)
