remove backend #36

Closed quat1024 closed 9 years ago

quat1024 commented 9 years ago

Backend isn't doing anything right now besides make it super hard for people to actually run and test the thing.

Flat html/js/css files for now, add backend later / in a seperate branch (not the master branch, ugh)

matthewr6 commented 9 years ago

How is it "super hard"? I'll clarify the instructions if need be. Just work on the frontend if you don't like backend, and I or init will merge it to the actual site.

quat1024 commented 9 years ago

well, where is the frontend? not in master that's for sure

I thought we weren't pushing to master but it's filled with backend crap and python

PullJosh commented 9 years ago

If I can't double-click the file and open it in my browser, it's too hard.

If I can't run it with WAMPserver, it may as well be rocket science.

@Firedrake969 I'm sure it's easy for you - that doesn't make it easy for me. I think that calling people using an iPhone is easy. My great grandma just got an iPhone. Calling people is still hard. (true story)

For you, installing python and django and crap is easy. For me, that's really really hard! I've never gotten pip to work in my life, and the most complicated local server I've set up is WAMP, which comes with a windows installer. (Double-click the icon and rapidly press next without reading anything...)

You don't have to remove the backend - just put it somewhere that will allow the rest of us to do our thing without being interrupted.

+1 everything @PullJosh said

an-OK-squirrel commented 9 years ago

+1 above

matthewr6 commented 9 years ago

Accept my PR and I'll format things so we can both work how we need to.

towerofnix commented 9 years ago

+1 @PullJosh

Also merged.

an-OK-squirrel commented 9 years ago

+1 @pulljosh again, because pip sucks :/

matthewr6 commented 9 years ago

How so?

PullJosh commented 9 years ago

Well, it doesn't work, so...

matthewr6 commented 9 years ago

Pip doesn't work? The command, or using pip install? http://www.anthonydebarros.com/2014/02/16/setting-up-python-in-windows-8-1/

PullJosh commented 9 years ago

I don't know... I've just never gotten it to work. It gives cryptic error messages, but I've never cared enough to spend hours of my life figuring it out.

matthewr6 commented 9 years ago

What are the error messages? I like messing around with my Windows computer to try to make it as *NIX-like as possible :P

PullJosh commented 9 years ago

IDK

Going to close this because of the shiny new gh-pages branch!:)
