Too many packages. #26

I think that the application can be greatly simplified. I advise you to think about what is superfluous, what can be replaced and simplified.

Are you talking about bower packages or node ones? Sorry, I'm not quite sure what you're referring to here.

maciejczyzewski commented 10 years ago

I am talking about packages from Bower. For example ember, It should not be used in small projects like this. Better idea is to use backbone! Importing fontawesome (whole) and normalize.css like a external package is weird. This may be immediately connected.

It could also be a better design. But I'll take care of it.

Oh, I see. I won’t be rewriting the entire app in Backbone; in fact, the previous version used Backbone and I have not found it to mesh well with my approach to building apps, to summarize. Ember and the yeoman/grunt tooling I have around it suits this much better.
