#22I'm a little confused as to what this is exactly.
Just google "Phở" and I'm sure you'll find plenty of relevant sites containing documentation, code samples, and more. Oh wait...you'll actually get a bunch of sites about soup.

#24I realized I was old when I tried to clean my screen, then realized "PHO" had accented characters ... I complain about the uppercase-only EBCDIC main-frame output at work, but I'm still not used to seeing non-ASCII characters on the web. My elderly status was confirmed when the Getting Started guide included: 2. Generate initial project structure yo pho
wanna be the asshole nerd that ruins every conversation? constantly remind people that it's pronounced "fuh", like the German "fa" as in "fahren". met a lady like that last year, has been stuck in mind since then. grrrr.
Pronouncing it correctly makes restaurant names like "Pho King" even funner. :P

Says you. Maybe if you lived elsewhere, you might have a different point of view (SE Asia, perhaps...). ;)

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
(Phở author here) As a front-end developer you have to do lots of things that can be automated (minifying JS, compiling LESS, optimizing images, making sprites). Gulp is great for this, but it still has a steep learning curve. Some basic setup is easy, but it took us quite a long time until it was reusable and solved all common tasks.
So pho is a gulp replacement?
Not at all, it's a set of configurable Gulp tasks and a Yeoman generator.

Looks like it's an abstraction on top of Gulp (i.e. it uses Gulp).

Fair enough, but I know how to type most of the common diacritics on my Mac keyboard, which is probably more than most people could say. I'm not sure how it's even possible to type the "o" in that word without an alternate keyboard layout, though.

None, it appears O and ở are interchangeable to Google.
I'm not sure if interchangeable is the right word. 'phởne' and 'phone' yield different result lists. At least Google seems to have a way to detect visually similar letters.
Unicode tools (at least should) have ways to determine visually similar letters. Maybe someone more knowledgeable about Unicode than me can pull out the term for it (maybe "homograph"?). For example: 'ö' and 'o' should 'match' using this method. It also allows you to do things like make sure that μ (mu) and µ (micro sign) match.
So in response to:
> I'm not sure if interchangeable is the right word. 'phởne' and 'phone' yield different result lists.
The results are different because it's matching somethings that are an exact character match, and others that are just visually similar (homographs?).
