desckit's Issues

better documentation is needed for how to create a desktop

Use template-literal instead of EJS

Template Literal is fastest, smallest and simplest template engine, because it use JS's literal template feature.

It's 55 times faster than EJS, and it also use less CPU and RAM ressources, so it may be a good idea to use it instead of EJS 😀

cleanup phantomSlave.js

command line needs documentation

suppress all console statements from scripts

tests

node_modules should not be committed

stuff to do:

move out code that needs to be saved
prune old branches
add package names and versions to npm

better download instructions and support on Windows

currently fails on my windows7 machine:

john@DANIEL ~/mysrc/desckit (master)
$ node app.js
Express server listening on port 1280
GET /assemble/foggy/render/60 200 392ms - 235
exec error: Error: Command failed: 'phantomjs.exe' is not recognized as an inter
nal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

replace console.log with debug to clean up command line execution

$ desckit -I 20 foggy
Express server listening on port 1280
GET /assemble/wide/render 200 10ms - 119

getting them...
render file args: { '0': null,

  date: { Mon, 11 Feb 2013 17:17:36 GMT h: [Function: getHours] },
  id: 'wide',
  render: undefined,
  reload: undefined,

not as fun as something like:

$ desckit -I 20 foggy
rendered Mon Feb 11 2013 12:29:55 GMT-0500 (EST)
rendered Mon Feb 11 2013 12:30:25 GMT-0500 (EST)

add option to run the project in command line mode

needs a unit test suite

add -P option for the path to create the wallpapers

make stylus optional

The Readme.md says

There are currently 3 mandatory script files:

script.ejs - This is the HTML template for the layout of the descktop wallpaper
script.js - This is the Server-side(!!) script to be ran when the script is requested. This runs in your NodeJS instance so you can configure it to do whatever you want that is supported by NodeJS
script.styl- This is the Stylus CSS source file that will generate a script.css file when needed

and I don't want to force people to use stylus.

repo size is just too large

27Mb ?
