it's cool, pretty easy and lightweight it seems. If they put decent tooling in, it might get used by People.
Though when we're going down the js as an assemblylanguage road, I'd probably choose C# (e.g. Script#) or even cooler, F# (Websharper). or imagine being able to cross-compile your portable class libs down to js.. ![]()
But what I'm also waiting for is for something Like Google Native Client as a (real) assembly on the web to take over, we can't be stuck with JS as the ONLY language forever.
@SomeRandomDude: Normally you can just set CurrentCulture.
looks a little crazy... from what I've seen in this video I think I prefer resx...
I can't find the app in the store anymore since I installed release preview! ![]()
The design is pretty cool, though the code not so...
I wonder if the app will start as fast as in the emulator, because that would be pretty fast compared to the average app.
Episode not suitable for Windows Phone playback?!
If the app gets hibernated(or shutdown by os) while playing a video, it gets resetted. also, background playing the audio would be nice. It's more a general os multitasking issue when playing media(a video should not essentially stop when navigating away).
@hansol Fullscreen video is available, if you click on format and choose the sl player(smooth streaming).
I don't need those colors, seriously. But it's too gray and too many shades of it. There's also still too much clutter, you should go even more the typography path.
