I've got another project we could work on as part of an LCB "class" - un-hardcoding the icons that are in the various widgets, so the developer can drag/drop SVG's. Perhaps that could be from an icon library widget. Segmented controls, buttons, etc. could all benefit from this. On Fri, Oct 27,

That isn't to say it's a complete mess, but when I jump in to start looking at something, it feels like I'm in an escape room, because I'm trying to learn what the heck is what, why it works that way, and work on it at the same time. On Fri, Oct 27, 2017 at 2:18 PM, Mike Kerner

Which is exactly why a hacking series would be welcome. When I jump in, I find something that looks to me like tangled spaghetti. If I had a better macro understanding, I might spend less time giving up and more time doing something cool with it. On Fri, Oct 27, 2017 at 2:01 PM, Mark Wieder via

Cool! Working on the PB was more of an example, though, to get people thinking about what sorts of things a in-depth class that spans several sessions could cover. I was going to suggest standalone settings, but Ali is tackling that. The main question is how do we make all of us more

Thank you Roger. We've had so much great feedback about this method of delivering content. It's not the same as a fully live conference, no, but in some ways it works better. They are different things. We're not saying we'll never do another one live. We're just saying hey, this was great.

All that was missing was the food, the drink, and the boat rides. The content and the video quality was so much more, and so much better, imho. I thoroughly enjoyed the in-person conferences, however there's no reason the group couldn't do smaller sessions specifically to address that gap in
