Show the vertical scrollbar as inactive when content of the site
don't require any scrolling, instead of not showing anything.
This avoids the annoying "jumps" when you switch between
pages that require scrolling vs don't require scrolling.
Mobile responsive design with a very native feel, all in pure CSS (no
templating differences between versions — even though some things are
in very different positions.)
I’ve been working on this whole thing in my head for a while now,
planning out how certain components will be laid out on the mobile
version, and how to reason about them in the templates so that a
substantially different layout can still be achieved by only using CSS.
Today I finally wrote the CSS and it’s come together pretty damn
perfectly.
Still to come:
- Swiping left or right on discussions to reveal controls
- Tablet version
HTMLBars goodness! Since there was some breakage and a lot of fiddling
around to get some things working, I took this opportunity to do a big
cleanup of the whole Ember app. I accidentally worked on some new
features too :3
Note that the app is still broken right now, pending on
https://github.com/emberjs/ember.js/issues/10401
Cleanup:
- Restructuring of components
- Consolidation of some stuff into mixins, cleanup of some APIs that
will be public
- Change all instances of .property() / .observes() / .on() to
Ember.computed() / Ember.observer() / Ember.on() respectively (I think
it is more readable)
- More comments
- Start conforming to a code style (2 spaces for indentation)
New features:
- Post hiding/restoring
- Mark individual discussions as read by clicking
- Clicking on a read discussion jumps to the end
- Mark all discussions as read
- Progressively mark the discussion as read as the page is scrolled
- Unordered list post formatting
- Post permalink popup
Demo once that Ember regression is fixed!
- Write CSS for everything, update templates.
- Refactor discussion view. Stream is split into two components
(content and scrubber) which have their own responsibilities.
- Extract pane functionality into a mixin.
- Implement global “back button” system. You give a “paneable” target
to the application controller, the back button will modulate its
pane-related properties as necessary, and call an action when the
button is clicked.
- Extract welcome-hero into its own component.
- Lots of other general improvements/refactoring. The code is quite
well-commented so take a look!
