ZebKit First Impressions and Suggestions about zebkit

[barmalei]

Thanks, glad to know you are interested in the library.

1. Have upgraded zebkit hosting to archive better performance recently
2. Yes I am not a native speaker and often don't have enough time to proofread the written documentation. I will think about possible migration to github pages, but at this moment I prefer to keep everything on zebkit web site. Potential migration can take my time away. The highest priority for me is developing stable Zebra code + adapting Zebra for mobile world. I have to select only few targets and have to "cut tails".

Other points:

1. It is impossible to handle key events on mobile (at least on Android) since key events code is practically all the time set to zero, nevertheless what you have pressed. Zebra provides an HTML element wrapper component that represents an HTML element as a standard zebra UI component. In other words you can place theoretically any HTML element into zebra layout as if it was a zebra UI component. So use "zebra.ui.HtmlTextField" component on mobile touchscreen devices instead of "zebra.ui.TextField" component.
2. (2-9) UI components have to be adjusted to fit mobile platforms. Some of them are already adapted another one is in the list. Thank for your report, it is helpful. Pay attention the basic demo application is not very good use-cases to be tested of mobile devices. Normally you have slightly prepare your app for mobile world. Number of things that are recommended is pointed on WEB site: http://www.zebkit.com/documentation/writing-ui/ui-basic-ideas/mobile-devices/

Also few "dirty" test mobile applications are available by the links listed below:

• http://repo.zebkit.org/latest/mobile/list.html
• http://repo.zebkit.org/latest/mobile/designer.html (you can size component with two fingers gesture)
• http://repo.zebkit.org/latest/mobile/grid.html

Also agree with your point about necessity to have team/company to make the project more reliable. But what we want and we have often differs :) Anyway I do my best to move the project forward.
