Feature request: Package manager and plugin repository for contributed MeteorKitchen components. about kitchen-site HOT 4 OPEN

Hi @premosystems (don't know your name :)

Nice to see somebody interested to help!

Package manager and plugin repo is on my radar, but I have not worked in that direction yet. If you wish to contribute that's great, I'l give you instructions, also any idea is welcome.

I am busy these days (my first child is born few days ago) and I'l contact you again in few days. My e-mail is [email protected]

Also, I need help with:

• English spelling & grammar @ meteor-kitchen site,
• Better tutorial, maybe step-by-step video for example apps, or just "getting started" video etc.

Currently, under developement is GUI (will be useful instead of writing json input file).

Cheers!

@perak I can help make some videos. Do you have any ideas on the best method to teach Kitchen?

@benstr that's great! :)

I imagine "welcome video" in home page (jumbotron). Screencast showing editor, entering input file for minimal example then running meteor-kitchen, showing generated source code, starting generated application and showing it in browser. Then, adding new page and menu item into input file, running generator again and showing app in browser with new page added (speaker explaining complete process).

Also, any idea is welcome!

P.S.
Feel free to contact me via e-mail.

Nice! I will put some time aside this weekend to make the couple videos you described. Also, when writing my JSON the file quickly grows way too large to manage so I broke it into separate JSON files and wrote this small script that will "deep merge" them all together. I will also make an advanced video discussing structuring your JSON files and using the Merge script.

Thank you for making this great tool. It has been a tremendous help to me. With all the new programmers coming to Meteor I am sure this will be a "must have" tool for most of them.

I will email you from this point forward.
