Re: Introducing Emy
Sounds cool! On 18 April 2013 09:28, Hello Gurus remi.grum...@gmail.com wrote: Hi list, I've been quite busy on this lately, and it seems like (about) time to release something. As some of you know, i'm part of iUI since late 2009, doing different things like themes, plugins, bugfixes, documentation and even the design development of its website, … and i use to enjoy this a lot. But every time, for each single step, i did face some resistance to bring some new ideas improvements to iUI's main core files. Don't get me wrong, I have no anger about that neither personal recognition issue of any kind, this is a very common problem with open source projects: waiting for too much feedback before doing anything, and if no feedback at all then nothing gets done. (iUI 0.5 first draft is a 3 years old left-in-the-cold Google Clone). As a result, iUI is not even now what i (and others) would like it to be for more than 2 years later. I've tried to push things forward multiple times, but the amount of time energy spent to literally force 0.4 release was too much for me to handle. I did join the project to learn things push this library forward, and create/develop an ecosystem around it. As a matter of fact, i've failed. Badly. But there is no point to discuss on what's iUI is not. Let's focus on what, imho, it should be. So i start a fork from the latest iUI 0.4 with nowdays modern browsers in mind, phones tablets. Quickly after a few days coding, i realized there were no point to stay compatible with iUI: this library has been hacked back in 2007 with iPhone only in mind (iPhone was to only real smartphone btw), and is very horizontal sliding webkit-only limited from the inside. The quick lightweight vanilla code concept remains, but that's pretty much it. HTML syntax is different, core files has been highly changed, plugins, extensions themes are not compatible … a real split was engaged. Since not compatible and after some discussions, the iUI brand name was something i have to get rid of too, to avoid confusion between the two projects. So, ladies gentleman, let me officially introduce you to Emy (Efficient Mobile web librarY) Github repo https://github.com/remi-grumeau/emy Demo http://www.remi-grumeau.com/projects/emy/demos/ Documentation http://www.remi-grumeau.com/projects/emy/documentation/ For iUI users / developers like you, i've wrote a Switching guide http://www.remi-grumeau.com/projects/emy/documentation/switch-to-emy-from-iui.html (Note that all those links might change since they are really too linked to me) As a summary, i might list those few things - HTML5 syntax - Supports custom transitions - Built-in onshow onexit view attributes to easily trigger some code when sliding in or out a view. - Most iUI themes extensions has been ported (with an additional WindowsPhone theme) - Tested ok on iOS 4 and above, Android 2.3 and above (stock browser, chrome firefox), WindowsPhone 8, Blackberry 6 and above, Firefox OS beta. - Resising to cover the full viewport - Built-in basic selector - Form toogle element has an hidden checkbox linked to it - Complete documentation - a supa-cool logo :) - MIT licensed (this might change to WTFPL - www.wtfpl.net) And this is just the beginning :) I have no clear next steps roadmap in mind for now, all i know is that i want something new to release at least every 4 months. Even if not perfect: done is better than perfect. Could be more new plugins: iScroll, database-driven load refresh modules, new themes, … some better large screen / responsive adaptability (look at the Instagram demo app), video trainings, ... I'm also thinking a lot about some online services like a free theme generator, a free commercial website/app editor hosting service, free commercial theme/plugin library you can show what you've done earn a few bucks from it… WordPress model is not that bad for this. A website is on its way too. (the design is done, all is needed is the front-end coding) (your ideas here) If you have some front-end skills time to dedicate to this, there is a LOT to do, code, create. (but note that i might be an ass with time a core team have to dedicate :) ) I can't way to get some feedback from you folks !!

Thanks you very much, I will take a look at the CSS declarations.

Re: Making the whole background grey in iUI
Thanks for this info. I would guess consistent background rendering is something most apps would want, so it would be good to see this make its way into iUI. Is it by design the background does not fill the whole screen? Best, Mikael On 3 December 2012 18:14, Hello Gurus remi.grum...@gmail.com wrote: This is something i've proposed for 2 years ago now. It never comes to iUI. Something called fitToScreen you might find at the end of this file https://code.google.com/r/remigrumeau-updates/source/browse/web-app/iui/iui.js Feel free to use/fork it or not. This comes as a replacement of height: 100% on body childs, which use the screen height, not its content, and make any screen longer than device's screen not to draw the panel background (neither color).

Re: Making the whole background grey in iUI
Thanks a lot for the explanation. Will do experiments and I would also be happy to test your fork when available. Best, Mikael On 5 December 2012 13:55, Remi Grumeau remi.grum...@gmail.com wrote: In order to let the user choose which background he wants PER SCREEN, background color or background image is set on each panel. Each panel is a DIV, which gets its height from its content, or based on what you tell him in the CSS. Previously, we used to set height: 100% for each screens. That was ok until your screen if smaller than the phone or tablet physical height. In such a case, background (color or image) wasn't there anymore when scrolling. So that's why we removed it. and that i start this fitToScreen initiative waiting for people to test/improve/debug it and solve this problem. Note that this is even worse on an iPad. http://cl.ly/image/1R3k0W213X1g fitToScreen goal was to avoid it, to make it look like this http://cl.ly/image/0L0l1J3Y0U46 Again, any of you feel free to take this fitoScreen code and commit it into iUI's github code. I'm pretty much out of the main iUI branch for now… working on a separate fork of it (soon to be released) Remi Le 5 déc. 2012 à 13:32, Mikael Kindborg mikael.kindb...@mobilesorcery.com a écrit : Thanks for this info.
