"FF" The Fabulous Features

1. Glow

Pixel perfect, and idiot proof super simple, and super quick and perfectly neat fenced code block color coding, without which I wouldnt even bother writing this review. Taking screenshots of code ...eurgh, life is too short.

// some C# code
  [Test]
  public void show_progress_title_and_progress_bar()
  {
      var console = new MockConsole(40,20);
       var pb1 = new ProgressBar(console, PbStyle.DoubleLine, 10);
       var pb2 = new ProgressBar(console, PbStyle.DoubleLine, 10);
      pb1.Reefresh(2,"cats");            
      pb2.Refresh(10,"dogs");
     var expected = new[]
      {
          "Item 2     of 10   . (20 %) ##########  ",
          "cats                                    ",
          "Item 10    of 10   . (100%) ############",
          "dogs                                    ",
      };
      •Assert.AreEqual(expected, console.BufferWritten);
  }

2. Global and local links

Being able to to configure global Links to keep markdown clean. Long urls can really make markdown messy; For example, the entire page for my bugs and issues is just this super clean list. There are other benefits as well but this is just sublime.

  ## Issues and feature requests

  These are some issues I've already raised on github with dev team

  1. [Better error message when markdown extension is mispelled][351]
  1. [Use "snippets" pattern to import test code into docs][350]
  1. [Support inline `<span>` components in markdown][348]

3. Speed and size

Name says it all. Does what it says on the tin. No fluff.

4. Inline CSS

I love how I can toggle to enable or disable inline css; so useful to have it turned off when developing. Especially if I'm working with someone else's CSS and html, and I need to right click an element to see where the css is defined.

inline_css: true

5. Devops

1. BUild and deployment time on Cloudflare is insanely Faaaaaaast!
2. 11 seconds after I hit enter after typing git push and it's deployed. That's 3 seconds for Cloudflare to detect the git change, and 8, yes eight seconds, and it's deployed and available world wide on the cloudflare CDN! 🕺🏼😇

6. MMM - Making Markdown Miraculous!

1. Mmmm ... I love how easily you can create custom markdown extensions using Nue.
2. tbd : with some simple examples.

7. Hot reloading

1. Hot reloading didn't used to be such a big thing for me; however, when you're able to work and iterate so incredibly fast, and with the clean seperation of content, means seing the changes in realtime as you edit code, just makes you that much more productive.
2. The sheer simplicity of everything; where everything that can be removed has been removed means everything is that much more stable; really super charges the hot reloading; compared to a lot more planning and design with bigger react et al systems.

8. Devs, community, roadmap and Vision

1. Friendly and fast
2. There's a very ambitious and clear roadmap and a hunger for delivering on those goals
3. Seems like there's a good balance between delivering on the roadmap while also focusing on small issues that impact usability. That's a difficult balance to get right. I think that Nue has nailed that balance and It shows.

9. Nue Project Structure

1. (tbd)

10. to be continued ... (work in progress)
