#12This is exactly the project I needed; I will very soon be integrating Ampersand Collections & State into my app. Thanks for this!
Re: Introducing Ampersand.js
#13Show me the code, don't hide behind a huge post with buzzwords like "mobile first" and "modular". Show me what it actually does.

#14I hate posts that don't show code. Show me the code, don't hide behind a huge post with buzzwords like "mobile first" and "modular". Show me what it actually does.
And the clientside code for the example application generated by the cli is here: https://github.com/AmpersandJS/ampersand/tree/master/templat...

Sorry, we just wanted to give the background to the project and why in the post, rather than focussing too heavily on code. There's plenty of API docs for the core components in http://ampersandjs.com And the clientside code for the example application generated by the cli is here: https://github.com/AmpersandJS/ampersand/tree/master/templat...
Your landing page should contain what your users want to see, not what you want to put there. You might be excited about the motivation behind your project but nobody cares, really.
I clicked on the link and I spent ten minutes reading a wall of text hoping to find good reasons why I should switch from Angular, Backbone or Ember. Instead, I just closed the window without knowing anything about your framework.
> There's plenty of API docs for the core components
Still not a substitute for a user manual, even tiny.

It took some browsing of the GitHub repos for me to figure out what this is. But I like it, and will probably use it, so the code is not the issue, just the presentation. :)

Yes we'll try and improve the content on the homepage to make it more focussed. Though I guarantee if we didn't talk about the motivation we'd have people saying "why did you make another framework?!"

I'm not suggesting we've got it perfect by any stretch, but I'm not sure exactly what you're hoping to see? There's also http://ampersandjs.com/learn with some more detail around the various pieces.

I hate to say it, but there is a nugget of truth to this; the post is a giant wall of text when there should really be a summary of what the project is first, with the 'why' second. It took some browsing of the GitHub repos for me to figure out what this is. But I like it, and will probably use it, so the code is not the issue, just the presentation. :)
Though yes, a better overview would be useful.
