munawwar / flex-helper Goto Github PK

First of all, thank you for the creation of this library. I am a XUL expat, a refugee of a deprecated technology soon to be obsoleted, trying to make my way in an untamed world of WebExtensions. Having vbox and hbox emulation in pure CSS, with generic and robust classes, so concisely and thoroughly defined as you have done, shall prove most helpful!

But what about the license or any attribution conditions or requests? Even if you wish to have no license (public domain), it should be stated in the README.md. I'd like to use this CSS (or any modified versions) with some add-on code released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, giving credit to Munawwar at the URI https://github.com/Munawwar/flex-helper , at the least in my own README file in an ATTRIBUTIONS section, and possibly within the user interface of the add-on i.e. on an "About" page.

The Keep a Changelog project outlines the reasons and best practices. One thing as yet unmentioned in the project but which seems universally useful would be a "KNOWN ISSUES" section, if there are any known issues that either don't yet have, or can never have a proper resolution.

In my WebExtensions add-on endeavors, as I am learning my way around the Node environment, it may be helpful to others have this repo set up as a node package to allow for automated integration and updating. have you considered doing so? Any thoughts for or against? Anything that could be done to help make it happen?

Hello there,

I looked through http://munawwar.github.io/flex-helper/examples.html.

I am designing via ruby-gtk primarily but I know a bit of HTML / CSS. So I am looking to
create a unified DSL to treat everything as similar as possible in regards to vbox / hbox.
Thus your project seems useful for my use case.

If you ever find some spare time, do you think you could slightly extend the examples.html
file and show an additional example with specific width / height? I'd like to know if we can
use precisely defined div elements too, which I may need for some UI specific toolkits
like a calculator that may show a larger user-input-entry on top, and then smaller buttons
below arranged in a vbox. (I assume perhaps HTML/CSS has a grid layout too but I want
to keep it as simple as possible, so a hbox per row, put into a vbox, would seem most
logical. But visually I'd love to see more examples in examples.html just to get a better
impression what COULD be done. I assume you have more experience knowing what
can be done and what can not be done, but for a newcomer this is a little bit harder,
hence my issue request. Thank you for potentially considering this request!)
