Congratulations 😀

Congratulations Josh, you surely deserve that. 🥳

I'm very happy with this end.
I see this as an opportunity to eventually migrate a Desktop Flex App to Feathers.

Congrats ! Can't wait to see Feathers UI on HaXe !

Pledged. I'm not sure I'll be using Haxe, so I hope the funding also helps continue support in AIR/Starling.

Interesting question btw. ^^^

Also.. in regards to the haxe/openfl version, do you plan on providing full project source examples? Thx.

The examples included with the Haxe/OpenFL library will be about the same complexity as those included with the AS3/Starling library. Basically, a stack or tab navigator with a handful of screens at the most complex. Larger examples are certainly something that I can look into, but I'll probably need to sell them as premium add-ons due to the extra time commitment that they will require.

The Kickstarter funds must go entirely to the Haxe/OpenFL version of Feathers. I still plan to occasionally do bug fix releases for the AS3/Starling version, but no new features are planned at this time.

I'm finding noob style info in regards to setting up haxe/openfl, getting a project up and running, etc, etc, almost non existent. Obviously you learned Haxe/OpenFL very quickly and I'm sure others would appreciate if you shared a basic "shell" code base that could be used as an entry point for starting projects. And then any demos you make for Feathers, we just copy and paste into this shell. If this was something you would rather provide through a premium purchase, then perhaps a "production ready shell" would be appropriate. I know I personally would have no problem purchasing this, as it would speed up the r&d immensely. Thanks.

I'm definitely aiming to have good documentation for setting up a Haxe/OpenFL project with Feathers UI, including everything you need to install, how to set up your IDE, and the minimum code necessary.

I'm actually working in the first iteration of that right now.

Yes!

Awesome sir, thanks!!

MacShrike

Very cool on making that goal! 😁

I was planning on being in there but I just don't have any money now.
Very happy you made it 🥳

@joshtynjala Wondering if feathersui would hit Apache-Royale some day? I guess, it would be very nice if it does. I'm starting a project with Apache Royale and it seems very promissing.

joshtynjala

MyFlashLabs There are pure JavaScript bundles for both OpenFL and Feathers UI. The only thing is that you'd need to write Feathers UI "externs" for Royale, so that it knows what classes/properties/methods are available.

On a related note, I created a proof-of-concept a while back that runs some basic parts of Adobe Flex 3 with OpenFL in a browser. It's using original AS3 code from Flex, with minor modifications for slight differences in OpenFL's implementation of the Flash APIs.

https://github.com/joshtynjala/openfl-adobe-flex-poc

There weren't any externs involved, since I could use playerglobal.swc normally, but it does show which compiler options are necessary to mix Royale generated JS with Haxe generated JS.

joshtynjala Interesting stuff. I'll surely have to try that. at the moment I'm playing with the Jewel theme to see how far I can get with it...
