Excellent
Two questions:
Doru recently we (franck on a keyboard) played with the data source
model of (mac) of FastTable. We are building a list with a search that
displays only the
matching element. This is interesting to see that we just have to
provide a different (more elaborate datasource).
We can show you a bit what we did.
I was again rethinking how to compose/reuse logic (basically
rethinking Spec ideas). The tension is that when we use composable models
we by construction limit the functionality that can be composed.
For example, it is difficult to expose all the behavior of rubric
without explosing the API of Text. Now if we use directly widgets
then how can we reuse the logic of the composition
Alain started to brainstorm about it in calypso and I would like to
discuss deeper this point.

I did not see email in the bloc mailing-list. Are you using it?
I would be interested to see some discussions because I have a lot of
little details that I came accross building "simple" UI
and I would love to see how Brick handle them.
Hi,
We are happy to announce the first preview version of Brick, a new
widget set created from scratch on top of Bloc.
Brick is being developed primarily by Alex Syrel (together with Alain
Plantec, Andrei Chis and myself), and the work is sponsored by ESUG.
Brick is part of the Glamorous Toolkit effort and will provide the
basis for the new versions of the development tools.
Brick's goal is to provide a beautiful looking widget set, and the
default look is based on material design. The widgets are theme-able.
Right now, there exists:
- Label
- Simple button
- Toggle button
- Checkbox
- Radio button
- Window with or without an active title bar that can include various
visual actions and info
- Menu
- Beautiful scrollbars that are thin by default and enlarge when the
mouse hovers over it
- Scalable list for huge amounts of items with various heights
(The list also allows one for embedding text widgets with in place
editing)
The next immediate target is the creation of a new Pager widget (the
widget that is behind the current GTInspector).
You can see some screenshots on the official site:

To play with it, you can download a ready-made image:

and, in a Bloc space, you can browse the examples:

We would be happy to hear your feedback.
Cheers,
Doru
