Decide upon front-end stack #5

Open jednano opened 9 years ago

jednano commented 9 years ago

Which front-end stack do we want to use? I've been hearing stellar things about React of recent. Maybe this is the right time to learn it?

We need to do more research on this front though. We need to decide a few things:

This is why they call it research and development. I've already had my taste of Handlebars, Backbone, Knockout, Hogan, Ember, Angular, but I'm really hearing good things about React, so I think I should be doing more research there. I'm assigning this to myself.

I want to learn: React Grunt Angular APIary

I should outline the features that will be needed for a v1.

You don't want to learn Grunt. Trust me. Out with the old school. There are so many issues with it, because you have to dump intermediate files into some temp folder and then somehow track that in your brain. You keep dropping files at different stages and converting them between tools until finally you can write them to your destination directory. So slow.

Learn gulp!

It's React or Angular, not both. React seems to be all the hype right now.

Apiary can be removed once your API is in place, but yeah. I suppose it's useful.
