I wonder when we'll have projects like this targeting all browsers, and specialized functionalities for projects like Node-Webkit, maybe a fork of Bootstrap tailored towards total customization of Node-Webkit, or even a PureCSS fork as well.

Yeah, I was looking for browser support in the documentation, but couldn't find any.

wth is going on at mozilla? There seems to be a lot of excitement to create stuff, without much attention to whether it's needed .. or where the lifecycle goes beyond creation. http://www.ianbicking.org/blog/2014/09/professional-transiti...

Seriously. It seems like Mozilla is completely directionless, working on multiple competing projects which go nowhere either due to lack of resources or not addressing any real community need.

I'd love to see that effort concentrated on solving actual problems in a focused way, or maybe even making Firefox not sucky.

Ubuntu has done this for many years:

    $ gem install dummystuff
    The program 'gem' can be found in the following packages:
     * rubygems1.8
     * rubygems1.9.1
    Ask your administrator to install one of them
It's occasionally useful.

I looked at this in Chrome and honestly couldn't figure out if the examples were actually working.

Also, Stylus seems a curious choice (not because it's bad, just that it's not exactly the frontrunner in the CSS preprocessor race). I'm not even sure why a CSS preprocessor is even necessary, to be honest.

It looks like their following the Google model, except without needlessly pulling projects that don't gain enough traction yet serve a niche market.

haha - thanks for the laugh

I hope the apps market keeps recovering. This will put pressure on dinosaurs like browsers pretending to be an OS.

yea because it's much better to have closed, restricted app markets (like Apple, Google, Microsoft ones) than web standards.

It's a choice between restricted standards that hinder technology innovation and restricted markets that hinder business.

As a technologist I hope that de-facto monopolic legacy poorly-designed technologies (JS and HTML) will give way to new better technologies.

I am very happy that at least mobile still gives developers many options - mostly without lame transpilation.

if you include the platform.js file, everything should be supported in the last versions of every browser

Doesn't seem to be working on mobile safari either.

Hmm. Something more specific? I assume evergreen browser support means - Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, IE, but which versions. What about mobile OS ?
