This is awesome, a few thoughts though... #259

Thanks!
Yeah, that's a pretty terrible video. Thanks for the tour recommendation, that's not the first time I heard that!
Agreed, this should be a pretty straightforward addition.
Yeah in most cases it may be - depends on your use case. The thing that spawned this was the need to quickly process data in a way that excel couldn't... so when you're comfortable with Expangine it's very easy to upload/describe your data and then write programs that process it. Then share the program with someone else without them needing to install anything. They can just enter data and take advantage of what you wrote. Of course it changed it into it's own language with tons of other features.
For sure. The operation explorer is where most of the documentation is, but you don't clearly see that when you're programming. I think a universal "?" icon that allows you to click anywhere to get more info could also be helpful.
That is a use case I want to tackle - and it's on my to-do list. One of the projects I want to do with this is to create a challenge website (think Project Euler) where people can practice solving problems and submitting their solutions. I also wanted to then host programming competitions using the tool (a little odd, I know. Gotta try to get more people to help with this project - with feedback and improvements).
I have plans to - I had to switch gears to another project because of job change, etc. I was in the process of a rewrite to include a lot of missing programming language features. Once that was done I was going to focus on an alternative interface to program with. After that I was going to work on a runtime which output JS/TypeScript code. Those are the high level things I wanted to do next. Thanks for your feedback! |
Wow, this is an awesome creative project. You sadly have 1 video on you tube and its done in a hurry. I would greatly recommend that you add a "tour" guide in the app itself that can guide one on a step by step basis, start here, do this, then that.
For example, take a basic code example lets say a javascript function and say, this is how we do it with expangine.
Also it would help to structure the app to be broken into parts for example, beginner, intermediate and professional. There is just too much going on.
I am looking at your app and am still thinking its just better to write code. The lack of documentation and more videos are killing it. When I looked at it at first i thought i could use it to teach my kids to code, they are 11 and 12, I then watched the video, a lot of text and very few graphics and I just got overloaded.
Please make this easy to understand...
