using framer as a front-end framework #125

this maybe more mailing list material so feel free to redirect ...

tho Framer is presented as a prototyping framework, i'm wondering what is not suitable about it for use as a full-on front-end framework?

most of the UI frameworks out there ( ionic, ratchet etc) just deal with simple CSS markup and a few interactions like sidemenus

larger FEs like angular have data-binding and lots more, but framer seems unique in the animated UI area (until famous gets more usable maybe...)

I prefer meteor as a framework, and some of the event handling may get confused with meteor's own events system, but i guess that's to be tested.

Are there any obvious drawbacks to using Framer in this way?

Yes, we've optimized Framer for prototyping and performance in favor of browser compatibility and low memory footprint. It is definitely possible to turn Framer into a production ready framework, but not our focus right now.
