I agree about that specific patterns post being a bad example... but if you google for "react patterns" you won't be starved for examples of more terrible drivel. That's just what'…

Yes, it's bad code, and aren't we all having fun laughing at the anonymous dev who wrote it. However , I've seen this kind of code in the wild, and I'd be shocked if you hadn't, to…

I was one of the Ello devs (mobile, then web, then backend, then all of it). My guess is that you'll have some diehard fans early on - Ello did, and they stayed to the end (thanks!…

It's built using Hydrogen, our headless CMS and yes it is powered by Remix.

There is a very common thread here- the objc users are happy where they're at, the Swift fans don't understand and want to tell them why their opinion is wrong. My god, sit down an…

Has anyone mentioned the Book of the Long Sun by Gene Wolfe? If not, I will, and if so, I second it. Other favorites are Ted Chiang's stories, Children of Time, Dune, and if you wa…

Just a fun "experiment in code". Enjoy!

I've been enjoying RubyMotion since its inception, so I'm always surprised by how many people haven't tried it. It's been a huge boon to writing apps. I cut my teeth on app builder…

Yes, XML based layouts work just like they do in traditional Android development. And to chrisdevereux's point, we've already got some Android support in MotionKit.

If you already have a comfortable work flow, I would not encourage you to migrate just for the sake of it, but having the option to write a native app in Ruby is very compelling to…

Hi James, it's mostly my fault that your PR hasn't been merged. We tend to focus a lot on the compiler, and less on the Rake commands, but I'll try and get these PRs taken care of …

I think the gains are huge, but it depends on your preferred workflow. I know some traditional Xcode developers who kick and scream at the idea of loosing their IDE, whereas I pref…

Yeah I really don't keep up with stack overflow; if I could get emails from SO that I could reply to, I would have a much easier time helping out there. See you in #rubymotion! :-D…

And make sure to also check out the physics debug draw video! http://vimeo.com/71388927 This is such a cool project, and Juan has been working is A off on it! Glad to see it releas…

I've never seen a better tool for rapid prototyping a working iOS app... and it plays nice with teacup, pixate, all the friends! Reminds me somehow of Sinatra - e.g. Promotion : Co…

I doubt this has ever been tried, but I seriously doubt it... the compiler does a lot of work looking at the Cocoa frameworks to build the bridgesupport files. Are GNUStep framewor…

The closest thing I know about is Kivy.

I haven't done a larger project, but I did port a small project by starting with just the AppDelegate. It was easier to first turn the xcode project/obj-c code into a library, and …

Yes, and Shizuo Fujita and Laurent are THE top contributors. Both HipByte employees. Matt's last commit was two years ago: f6908b2 - 2011-04-28 21:50:28 -0700 fixed a stupid bug in…

Disagree. And that's why we have RubyMotion! :-)

If you don't like RubyMotion, then don't buy a license. Plain as that! Thanks Laurent, Shizuo, and the FANTASTIC RubyMotion community!

Aw heck yeah! Xcode never looked so good!

name is resolved, so all the trolls and snipes that are hung up on the NAME instead of the PRODUCT, please continue your trolling and sniping, but on a new topic (like this comment…

Thanks! PonyDebugger is solid, though, and much more useful from when you're at a computer. This project is all about getting debugging information from your device .
