Hello all! I am a newcomer that is still trying to wrap his head around the project. And hey, maybe it's good thing to have an outsider's perspective!
After some days experimenting with Weex, the Hackernews project, weexpack and weex-toolkit, I still have this question: How will people use Weex in the future? The success of open source projects depends more on the developer experience (that includes APIs, docs and tools) than the technical quality of the solution. So my question is: where are we heading? As far as I could learn from the docs, the workflow would be: 1. Create the app: > weexpack create my-project // weexpack or > weex create my-project // weex-toolkit or > vue init weex my-project // vue-cli ? 2. Configure native platforms in the config.xml 3. Add platforms > weexpack platform add android/ios // weexpack or > weex platform add android/ios // weex-toolkit ? 4. Debug platforms using weex-toolkit: > weex debug dist/index.weex.js 5. Run/deploy natively: > weexpack platform run I would like to see 3 things happening to this project: 1) A definition of the experience we want for the developer. 2) weexpack and weex-toolkit should have a clearer scope. Their docs should have a distinction of what is deprecated, with special care for overlapping features. 3) A "getting started" doc that guides the developer from 0 to having a Vue2.0 Weex debuggable app. Weex is under heavy development and I get that. The worrying part is that I don't see where Weex's developer experience is heading to. So, how will developers us weex in the future? Thanks! Tiago
