This is a great point. We are not done with the docs yet. The old docs were out of date and we started from scratch with how we are tackling problems. We started with the basic, quick getting started, we will be working towards more complex topics like building and using 3rd party plugins.

Also the docs are all open to community contributions if you'd like to help https://github.com/phonegap...

Kev, that's exactly what we're aiming to fix with this project. I'd love to chat more with you about your experiences and see if we can find some solutions or strategies to help future designers. Email me at garthdb@gmail.com

The work is cool, but the header seems to be almost wholesale from this freebie.

Nothing wrong with using these resources, but I figure he's capable of more from looking at his work.

You're awesome Christy. Thanks again for listening.

Re: Barriers for Designers

I completely agree. UX research should be a part of any project; especially open source.

It doesn't always have to a formally trained designer though; I'd love for engineers to be more involved in UX.

That's a good point, but maybe not specific to design. As a dev I've had the urge to rewrite a whole project if I think it's architected poorly. I think as we improve design quality in open source we'll see a reduction in that desire to redesign everything.

Hey, Awesome! Thanks.

Re: The Roadmap

Hey Vinish,

We love to have any involvement. The best way to start is to look through our open github issues and make some comments. If you want to do more with some html/css/js changes let me know; I can step you through some of that.

Probably would be better to post as an issue in github.

Re: Semantic Icon Font using Topcoat Icons

GarthDB — Tue, 11 Mar 2014 18:45:14 -0000

Hey Guest,

We use the bem (http://bem.info/) methodology which really helps organize something as complex as Topcoat. Although short is nice, it can often time be difficult to determine what abbreviation you should use, and often clarity and maintainability rank more important than short.

You shouldn't worry too much about repeating elements on size if you are compressing your html, which you should, since that shouldn't add any additional space to the file.

We are working on a new build process that would allow you to change the namespace - so .tc-button-bar__item if you want instead of .topcoat-button-bar__item, or even drop the namespace completely if you know you wont have conflicts.

You can file this as an issue on github if you want to continue the discussion. https://github.com/topcoat/...

Thanks,
Garth

Re: Generating Documentation for CSS Components

GarthDB — Sun, 19 Jan 2014 03:16:43 -0000

We're actually taking off the css snippets - Our css isn't 100% modular once it is compiled and optimized, so showing the css snippet isn't really accurate or super readable. However, that is just limited to Topcoat's current process. You can make your a custom topdoc theme that will show the css snippet (it is passed through).

Let me know if you need any help.

It's a vimeo embedded video. Does Vimeo work for you in chrome?

Re: SVG Files: From Illustrator to the Web

GarthDB — Mon, 30 Dec 2013 03:19:06 -0000

That. Yes, love that capability, makes svg one of the most powerful design asset format.

GarthDB — Sun, 29 Dec 2013 17:17:18 -0000

Also the best part about inline svg is that you can style the svg with css (like change fill color on hover)
