What Hacker News says

4 sources
Let's clear up some misconceptions quickly: 1. I think they botched their 'launch', badly. 2. It is completely open source: repo[1] , examples[2] , docs[3] 3. It's not magic either: this is why it's fast[4] 4. What is in the beta is access to the demos and tutorials, which take the form of something like codecademy. A picture says a thousand words, so let's try this. screenshot from positioning page of interactive tutorial[5] . --- [1] https://github.com/Famous [2] https://github.com/Famous/examples/tree/master/src/examples [3] http://famo.us/guides/ [4] http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/speed/high-performanc... [5] http://i.imgur.com/08gn1sf.png --- It gives you the absolutely pain free way to center any surface (which is just a DOM element) both vertically and horizontally. { origin: [0, 0] } // left top corner { origin: [

1, 1] } // bottom right corner { origin: [0.5, 0.5] } // dead center // and THEN.... { size: [500, undefined] } // full height column sidebar { size: [undefined, 100] } // full width footer { size: [undefined, undefined] } // full screen surface I think this is a breath of fresh air, and I'm going to build more stuff with it (or something that is like it), because I really think it makes the code much much easier to reason about. This is how you make responsive layouts in it[6]. If size > width. so much simpler than media queries and css overrides and what not. --- [6] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23140046/what-is-the-best... --- What they have done is package known good techniques in a way that I would actually consider using them in real projects with mid level developers who might not otherwise understand the nuances of linear algebra. I sure as hell don't, but this makes it accessible. I am honestly not affiliated. I knew it existed, but I recently discovered a good reason to play with it, so i figured it out from the examples and the docs. While compiling this, I was unable to find any dissenting opinions from anyone who actually had tried it, because of how the launch went down. I think more people should try it before they reject it. Just play with it. Please.
In Famo.us So Far: Field Guide for April 2014
Examples page is also broken.. https://github.com/Famous/examples I'm even more confused now. I looked at their other repos and there is a smattering of information to be found in "Guides". None of the demo links work except for the mobile page that someone posted below. There's nothing on the actual website except a login and when i register I'm "76882 in line". If I try to access the documentation (http://famo.us/docs), I'm told I need to be a developer and I can't access it. A resounding meh, I've wasted 10 minutes trying to work out how this thing works and what I can do with it. Some other kind folks have provided CodePen links, but back to work for me.
In Famo.us is now open source
