It’s not quite like the browser’s back button because it doesn’t
necessarily go back to the last URL; rather, it goes back to the last
interface. So if you go into a discussion, then go to a different
discussion via the side pane, the back button will still take you back
to the index (not the previous discussion).
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!
