SmalltalkHub looks great but lacks the features of SqueakSource3. It would be great if we could switch the backend to SS3 while keeping the look of STHub.
Amber is nice, but a single page JS app that uses infinite scrolling everywhere is just not a good fit for this kind of site, because search engines still don't index them well (look at any complex single page app made with Angular.js). if searchability matters, this isn't acceptable, and when you're browsing a repo with a huge number of packages (like the Pharo50Inbox), infinite scrolling is less user friendly and probably less efficient than boring old page numbers. > Sent: Thursday, October 22, 2015 at 3:26 AM > From: stepharo <steph...@free.fr> > To: "Pharo Development List" <pharo-dev@lists.pharo.org> > Subject: Re: [Pharo-dev] Smalltalkhub projects not indexed? > > > > So the #!
