    I think its a good idea and will give it a try next time I need to spin up a theme. Ignore the negativity in these comments. This is a great example of scratching your own itch and…

    Besides entertainment value doesn't all of this back and forth reduce down to the age old "use the right tool for the job in front of you"? Node.js as it currently stands isn't the…

    Often times they are stuck using insecure browsers because some archaic piece of in house software depends on obsolete features only present in dated versions of browsers. They cho…

    I think you'd find a site like stackoverflow to be a more helpful place to ask a question like this. Certainly there are JS experts around here, but people tend to be in a differen…
