In fact, with this frontend developers don't even need to look into backend code [06:56] (i'd suggest visiting https://material.angularjs.org/latest/ to get an idea of how the front end would look) [06:57] Also, since we'd be using MongoDB for the backend, all out data would be written in JSON (thus making conversion of xml to JSON easier), and also make it highly scalable and way easier to use than sql imo [06:59] I can't send you a demo without expecting you to run it on your side so i'm not doing so, but i'm guessing checking out the MEAN sample code that i sent should be more than enough to understand how easy it'd be to make, maintain and understand this code from start (also, the mean.io repo i sent a link for has too many unnecessary js files that wouldn't be required if we were making the website from scratch) [07:05] Cruel` (~Cruel@cruels.net) left irc: Ping timeout: 240 seconds [07:11] Cruel` (~Cruel@cruels.net) joined #scummvm.

But of course, you probably have more experience so i'll take your word for it :) [19:16] _sev: I'll still be making the prototype and sending it to you, in case you want to check it out [19:16] if you want me to stick to the current code base, i'll do so :) [19:20] GitHub9 (~GitHub9@192.30.252.41) joined #scummvm.

[19:21] snover: I agree that mongo may seem poor to some, but i've been using it for 2 years, and imo when using a JS stack, i find it most convinient to integrate mongo into the same, just because of the sheer number of resources available online for the same [19:23] Deledrius: Since scummvm.org seems to keep a majority of the template same in all the webpages, i felt the need to make it a single page application. Of course, as the mentors/members feel, that can be changed :) [19:25] Those two things aren't remotely the same, though. [19:25] TMM (~hp@fsf/member/pdpc.professional.tmm) joined #scummvm.

Also regarding the entire client side argument, if switching from PHP, we could make any new changes required (rather than just 'porting' it to a new stack/to angular). But if the members feel so, i guess we could just stick to having angular, and maybe a basic [19:30] node server and eliminate any major need for client side (like the current php counterpart) [19:31] snover: So if i was to switch to Angular for first end, do you suggest i stick to fetching information from local sources (maybe a local xml file), rather than having a backend storage? [19:31] no, i would object to using angular also :) [19:32] VaultyLappy (~eric@cpe-104-229-131-152.twcny.res.rr.com) left irc: Remote host closed the connection [19:32] Oh, why exactly? [19:34] the scummvm site isnt a web app [19:35] ^yes, i'd be using Angular (as a front end framework) for 2 particular reasons however: 1) Makes it easier to add material design (hear, Material-Angular), and 2) makes it easier for future contributors to learn the code, even if they haven't ventured into Web Dev yet, since JS is pretty universal anyways [19:36] why would the scummvm web site use material design? [19:36] Alright, if i was to continue working on the scummvm website, do you recommend me to continue working on the PHP code? I plan to make UI/UX improvement [19:37] I had suggested that the website looks a bit cluttered right now, and could use some imporvements (which i could do as a part of GSoC), and _sev mentioned that the website did need some visual updates [19:39] i aim to clean the website, make some space/de-clutter the pages, give focus on what is important in every page and the sort, improve the UX, enhance the UI and at the same time try to keep it as light as possible [19:40] out of curiosity, what's wrong with a bunch of template files and css that help maintain a consistent look and where the dynamic content is taken from either some simple markup in flat files or a database, and which then generates static html files by running a script (go with a makefile if you prefer that) [19:40] plus php for whatever needs that [19:40] I assume something like that is how scummvm.org gets built anyway already [19:40] so perhaps in other words - make it look nicer using the current infrastructure? [19:41] why the need for a "js stack" or whatever [19:42] ^ i could do that, but what i WAS suggesting (i've changed my plans with inputs from snover and Deledrius ) to make a stack so that it would A) organise storing data by storing it in an actual database, rather than locally B) build it in JS so future contributors would find it easier to work on the same C) Make working with material (to enhance UI), easier [19:44] i would still prefer using JS and implementing material with it, but its open to the organisation members as to what they'd like me to do [19:44] FleetAdmiral[m]1: if the goal is to improve the UI, i would recommend to start by creating some mockups that show how you think the UI should look [19:44] It was merely a suggestion, but if that is not liked by others, then i might as well stick to PHP [19:45] that gives a good starting point to discuss and iterate on [19:45] Indeed. [19:45] snover: Oh, alright. I'm sorry i'm not used to working with organisations, so a lot of the structured novelty is new to me :P [19:46] I'll do what you mentioned [19:46] _sev snover Could i keep material in mind when making the mockup? [19:46] You seemed to be dissing on it a while back :P [19:47] It's good to start with a goal and then decide how best to achieve it, rather than start from the conclusion of using a tool because you're comfortable with it and only then find ways to make things fit that. ;) [19:47] logix: in general, i like static site generators. there are some dynamic parts of the site right now though, that would need to be changed or removed, to build the site that way. [19:48] ^ i'll keep that in mind, thanks a lot Deledrius :) [19:48] TMM (~hp@fsf/member/pdpc.professional.tmm) joined #scummvm. [19:48] #scummvm: mode change '+o TMM' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services. [19:55] FleetAdmiral[m]1: as far as using material design, i think you can take inspiration for the UI from whatever youd like, though if your plan is to just apply the standard material design to the site, that probably would not be well-received. i dont know if you saw the little bit of talk earlier about flat design, but you might want to read that if you havent already. [19:55] I read through, but didn't pay too much heed to it. Will go back and read it up again. Thanks a lot for you help :D [19:58] snover: rewriting that or manually keeping the design of the special snowflake parts in sync still sounds less involved than moving to a web app thing :) [19:58] perhaps I'm just an old fart who likes static html (unless that really doesn't work functionality wise) [20:02] well, yeah. already the site is generating static html, it just does it at request time and then caches most of it, instead of doing it all in advance and just hosting the generated output.
