Hi Donald (and Martin),

Thanks for pinging me; it's nice to know Typesafe is keeping tabs on this, and I
appreciate the tone. This is a Yegge-long response, but given that you and
Martin are the two people best-situated to do anything about this, I'd rather
err on the side of giving you too much to think about. I realize I'm being very
critical of something in which you've invested a great deal (both financially

Advanced SCSS

Or, 16 cool things you may not have known your stylesheets could do. I'd rather have kept it to a nice round number like 10, but they just kept coming. Sorry.

I've been using SCSS/SASS for most of my styling work since 2009, and I'm a huge fan of Compass (by the great @chriseppstein). It really helped many of us through the darkest cross-browser crap. Even though browsers are increasingly playing nice with CSS, another problem has become very topical: managing the complexity in stylesheets as our in-browser apps get larger and larger. SCSS is an indispensable tool for dealing with this.

This isn't an introduction to the language by a long shot; many things probably won't make sense unless you have some SCSS under your belt already. That said, if you're not yet comfy with the basics, check out the aweso

var Dialog = React.createClass({
  render: function() {
    // 1) render nothing, this way the DOM diff will never try to do
    //    anything to it again, and we get a node to mess with
    return React.DOM.div();
  },

  componentDidMount: function() {
    // 2) do DOM lib stuff
    this.node = this.getDOMNode();

I've been struggling to come up with a good pattern for handling loading state in Flux (specifically using Fluxxor, though I think this is an issue for any implementation).

When I say "loading state," what I mean is state in a store that tracks:

• Whether the data handled by the store was loaded
• Whether the store is currently attempting to load data
• Whether the data loaded successfully or errored
• The error message, if it errored

Here's my first (very simple) pass at this, a store mixin called LoadingStoreMixin.js:

Strictly Frameworks

• Mobiledoc - github.com/bustle/mobiledoc-kit - framework to build editors with a standardized JSON structure
• ShareDB - github.com/share/sharedb - framework to sync any JSON document using operational transforms, add real-time collaborative editing to anything else
• Bangle.dev - github.com/bangle-io/bangle.dev - toolkit built for building editors, based on prosemirror

Abstracted Editors

These use separate document structures instead of HTML, some are more modular libraries than full editors
