Title: UIZero, the simple full-width cards-stack
Post by: Zero on July 27, 2018, 04:03:37 pm

So I'm working for an interface for my next project (the thinkbot thing).

I thought I would use Goldenlayout, but I decided to roll my own, very simple design.

T3js (http://t3js.org/#core-philosophy) allows scalability through modularity. An application is made of isolated modules. Modules are associated with a DOM node they're in charge of. My understanding of this is translated in UIZero: simple DIVs, that's it.

They say the cards paradigm (https://www.qwant.com/?q=ui%20cards%20paradigm&t=web) is future of UI. Well, if we're gonna do technical UI, cards don't have to be all shiny and new (like a virgin). Instead, they need to be full-width, and we should be able to show/hide them easily. That's what UIZero does, and it does only that.

Any thought?

I think it needs a title...  ;D

( Just joking Zero! )   It is very nice.

Yes looks nice. The only worry is removing the scroll bar as some mice still don't have scroll wheels I bet.

Thank you.  :)
Yes you're probably right about scroll wheels. I admit I often don't care about making my stuff available to every possible setting, like IE or old browsers without webworkers. On the other hand, people who could be interested in what I'm doing, if any, probably have decent mice and uptodate browsers. But yeah, you're right.

Yes this is true if you know your audience  O0

The majority of my web work revolves around accounting for as much as I can, so just thought I would mention it.  I don't worry as much about old browsers these days :)

Thats the way it goes. Where are you, Netscape...  :)

I'm happy because my project has evolved, and now is a full modular platform, rather clean imo. I call it Jeda, it's based on T3js, UIZero (what a sh*t name), Postaljs, and jqWidgets. I'll put it online soon.

On Tuesday Freddy said, "The only worry is removing the scroll bar as some mice still don't have scroll wheels I bet."

Just pointing out, that's valuable user interface feedback from Freddy.   
I made no attempt to scroll on my first visit.   Worth considering in the
UI design process.  No criticism intended.  Just making an observation.

Thanks for your input. :) Maybe I'll use jsWidget scrollbars, which come in nice dark theme.
