Re: Wondering what folks think about the default project
Anis, if it was just a matter of blank-or-default-only that would be fine, but I think we do want a way to start with arbitrary app, and so blank is just one extra option (Can even be implemented not as a cli special case, but just as an app template referenced by the already planned generic implementation). -Michal On Sat, Jul 13, 2013 at 12:41 PM, Anis KADRI anis.ka...@gmail.com wrote: or just `rm -rf www/*` if you don't like the default app. Trying to please everyone you'll end up either pleasing no one or complicating things.

RE: Wondering what folks think about the default project
I agree, I'd prefer a clean template to use for new projects. Give people who want a example app another mechanism. All of us stripping out all of the HelloWorld code for every new project is an unnecessary use of time. John M.

Right now it is cool. Looks neat. But is completely unnecessary after you've after learned how to use PG. It's a great example for folks learning PG, but for those of us who know and just want to get started quickly, it actually takes me more time to *remove* the HTML, CSS, and JS used in the default then it does to create a new project. Not to be over dramatic, but it really is the worst part of the process for me. Then again, I tend to make quite a few POCs with the CLI so this issue hits me more often than normal probably. I know the CLI is just copying a template (I've blogged on this before), but shouldn't the default be something better for developers?

Michal, that's exactly what I meant. On 7/11/13 2:09 PM, Michal Mocny mmo...@chromium.org wrote: But outside of CLI you are the one who sets up your app, right? This has specifically to do with the cordova create step starting with a copy of helloworld which is not empty. I think. -Michal
Re: Wondering what folks think about the default project
I really like the default app. As a brand new cordova dev it helped me understand how to get started with it. -- Michael Jackson @mjackson On Thu, Jul 11, 2013 at 10:28 AM, Ray Camden rayca...@adobe.com wrote: I can add this as a Jira item if it makes sense, but, what do folks think about the following: I'd like to propose that the 'default' PG app created by the CLI be changed.
