Full dev env for HTML/JavaScript about system-designer

[ecarriou]

Thanks for all these suggestions, very helpful !

Creating a full UI dev environment was on my todo since a while, but I need time to know exactly how to do it.
In fact, System Designer was designed with simplicity in mind (few buttons, simple UI, ...). When I had a look to other great and brillant IDEs, I thought that they were too complex, maybe because they were all based on Eclipse. So that is not easy to keep that simplicity when adding new features. That's the tricky part.

The links you gave are very interesting, particularly the one about Blocky, I did not know about that tool.

Any update?

Nothing new on this side, I am more focus on stabilization and small improvements/better documentation.

In retrospect, I'd just suggest you to implement a simple text editor to code methods with (just saw it's already available), a minimalistic GUI/page editor (similar to Mozilla Composer in SeaMonkey) and an inspector/outliner to edit item properties (I see there's already the ability to do this, but it would be more comfortable to edit in one place, and an outliner would give an idea of the current system at a glance).
And finally, allow the properties' names to be entered with an input box (like the system name), in example, the schema items are inserted with a text editor.
Allow to enter names and parameters with a front end.

I hope this will turn true. =)
