Comments on: Bespin full of gas? http://www.danrumney.co.uk/2009/02/16/bespin-full-of-gas/ Technology from work and home Tue, 06 Jul 2010 19:21:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: dancrumb http://www.danrumney.co.uk/2009/02/16/bespin-full-of-gas/comment-page-1/#comment-25 dancrumb Mon, 16 Feb 2009 20:32:40 +0000 http://www.danrumney.co.uk/?p=115#comment-25 Thanks for taking the time to respond. I think you nailed your key goals of performance and scalability. While I focused on what I felt was missing, it would be remiss of me to comment that I scarcely noticed I was using a browser. In fact, if someone had blindfolded me, tweaked the display and then shown me Bespin, I would have had no thoughts of web browsers in mind. I would <strong>love</strong> to see you release something to set Bespin apart against other editors; in a way, I think you've done such a good job of the basic editor that I'm inclined to judge you against them, instead of making allowances for Bespin's browser pedigree... perhaps you can take that as a roundabout compliment :) I'll be following Bespin with interest Thanks for taking the time to respond.

The purpose of this release was not to say "use this instead of your editor" but rather to show some interesting things done with canvas. It wasn't about the scrollbars, and we probably spent too much time on them in the video ;) The key for us is performance, scalability (big files), and then extensibility. Without the core then the rest doesn't make sense. We wanted to get this out there now (0.1 tech preview ... basically a demo) to show some things that we are working on and to immediately get feedback from the wider community. We have already seen amazing things done, and are getting great feedback. We realize that we are a long way from a finish product, but that is OK. We are experimenting, and all out in the open with open source. Thanks for taking a look and for your valuable feedback. Cheers, Dion, Bespin team You make good points.
