My learning curve has been similar to what Oliver describes. IMHO, there still a large gap between The Official Guide and the community platforms, that needs to be filled. The Official Guide is a great doc, but it has very few examples, and mostly entry-level and small. Outside the guide, the mailing list and slack channels are great for instant Q&As and small code snippets. Beyond that, it is a world of “anyone can share anything anywhere”.
Don’t get me wrong, there is very good elm-stuff out there, and I am very grateful for the effort that the community puts in examples, blogs, confs etcetera. I just wish there were a sharing platform in-between. For libraries, the processes and publication around packages are very useful. But not everything is a library. It would be useful if there was some sort of “community endorsed” examples archive, with some vetting process (maybe voting). These could be small (like a dropdown, sortable table, drag-and-drop reorder list, sidebar, port to do Firebase authentication and database connections etc etc), or larger, like a SPA. With not just code, but also written in a Guide-like way. I lack the skills to set up something like that, but would be more than happy to contribute with code examples and descriptions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.
