I've been programming in various forms for ~15 years and prefer smaller companies (roughly < 100 people, but I'm flexible) that have traction and are solving well-defined problems. Here are some libraries I've made: https://github.com/tombenner/nui - Use CSS in iOS https://github.com/socialpandas/sidekiq-superworker - Create dependency graphs of Sidekiq jobs https://github.com/tombenner/toro - Concurrent, extensible job queueing with PostgreSQL

NUI is similar and OSS: https://github.com/tombenner/nui OT but does anyone have any idea how much work it would be to port NUI or similar to Objective-J/Cappuccino? I really want to use Cap, but it's not designer friendly to theme and the default theme is looking a bit long in the tooth.

This is about style apps using CSS: http://www.pixate.com/docs/framework/ios/2.0/style-reference... Similar to NUI https://github.com/tombenner/nui I'm using it. Easier than UIAppearance, but still need some improvements in handling UICollection (it lags). However, overall is good.

https://github.com/brotchie/Parcoa Parser combinators for Objective-C. I wrote this ~10-11 months ago because there were no internal-DSL based parser combinators available for Objective-C. I'm not sure if the landscape has changed since then! Performance-wise the resulting parsers are SLOOOOW. I have created a branch that uses ranges instead of immutable strings, but have yet to merge it with master. I originally designed it as a replacement parser for NUI (https://github.com/tombenner/nui) but the performance wasn't up to scratch compared with NUI's tailored regular expression based parser.

This changes things quite a bit. I recently started a new project and decided on NUI (https://github.com/tombenner/nui) over Pixate. I have been very impressed by it so far. Does anyone have experience with both? How do they compare?

I just tried out NUI this weekend (https://github.com/createch/bullrunnerapp), and ended up abandoning halfway through. My code became worse because of it. Some of the style code is in the ViewController, some of it is in the NSS file. Going to have to test nativeCSS. Looks like this could be better than NUI. Unlike NUI: - You can have multiple selectors, like in normal CSS - More css-like names, border-radius (rather than border-width as NUI calls it) - Shorthand properties border: 1px solid #fff; - Shorthand color codes: #fff textview,textfield{ border-radius:0px; background-color:#fff; padding:5px; border:1px solid darkgrey; margin:auto; width:90%; } Also, $10/app is much better than Pixate's $199 license. https://github.com/tombenner/nui http://www.pixate.com/
