A new way to build websites? Feedback is needed for my application themex.

Hello everyone! πŸ‘‹

I'm excited to invite you all to explore my newest project: Themex. As a frontend developer, I have often worked with various CSS frameworks such as Bootstrap and Tailwind. However, I noticed a challenge: revisiting a project after a long time and deciphering the work done can be quite daunting.

This observation led me to develop Themex. My main goal with Themex is to provide a solution that not only prioritizes reproducibility but also ensures clarity and intuitiveness across various website projects. Built with vanilla JavaScript, CSS, and HTML, Themex includes the core web technologies we all care about. The aim is to provide a foundation that can be built in minutes and relevant CSS properties have been included. This is compiled in the browser and then continued later in the IDE.

I believe Themex could be a practical solution. To get an idea of what Themex offers and how it can transform your workflow, visit http://themexproject.com/ πŸš€. I'm excited to hear your feedback and look forward to seeing how I can develop further with your insights!

Hello! πŸ‘‹

Thanks for sharing Themex with us! As a frontend developer, I completely understand the challenges of revisiting past projects and ensuring clarity and reproducibility. It's great to see tools like Themex that prioritize these aspects and offer a streamlined solution. I'll definitely check out themexproject.com/ to see how it can enhance my workflow. Excited to explore and provide feedback!"

The themex website looks a bit wierd. No routing, no way to navigate back. No description, no links, even no impressum or disclaimer. On a mobil phone you do not even get a button.

Maybe you should improve the page a bit, that would be a better advertisment for your project.

I'm glad you tested Themex and thank you for your feedback πŸ™. If things aren't going quite smoothly yet, or if you're missing something, I completely understand. It's still a prototype, and Themex is improving with each version. I appreciate your time and hope you'll check back later.

Exciting idea, what I would love is to have some sort of general sections and subsections that you can easily navigate.

Also, I am not sure if you have thought of it but Light and Dark themes for the project itself would be a great addition in my opinion.

Still an amazing job!

Thank you for your feedback, Dean πŸ™! What do you see as sections and subsections? Do you mean within a component? Light and Dark themes are of course good idea (must have) and are now on the agenda 😊.

What I mean is basically, in the future when you add more components that may fall under the same category (Eg. Typography), you can make Typography a drop-down menu and then add sub-sections inside.

Also, one idea that popped into my mind is you can add the above Foundation, an introduction to your project, a guide on how to use, what languages you can export too etc.

You make a good point about the category and menu. In any case, a well-organized structure is essential. You are also 100% correct about the introduction and the 'Getting started' guide. This is at the top of my list.

Great feedback, thank you πŸ™. Kevin, my primary objective with Themex is to integrate features as soon as they are ready for development πŸ’ͺ. I've always found it frustrating with other frameworks to wait for the implementation of new native features. For instance, I'm looking forward to utilizing the latest CSS features, such as nesting selectors and container queries. In Themex, I'm already leveraging the new viewport units and the enhanced gap properties.

I'll need to see more in deep but so far I like it!

What I can imagine you'll be working is in more components.

The possibilities of this are huge, for example show a full style-guide or a page demo example. Also a "premium" option to export this as React/Vue/Etc components.

Nice solution. I'll play around a bit

Thanks for your feedback, Arol! Absolutely. It requires many more components. I already have some ideas. Exporting as a React or Vue component is an excellent idea that I love ❀️
