Roadmap

[redonkulus]

Description

This is a catch all ticket for potential infrastructure changes to improve Pure.

Items

1. (feat(site): build new documentation site #787) Migrate website - Zeit v1 is EOL, current Node.js site doesn't support v2.
2. Upgrade Normalize - Version currently used is very old. We should upgrade to the latest version.
3. Remove old browser support - There are many browser hacks for old IE, Opera and Safari browsers. These are most likely unnecessary and just add bloat to the project.
4. Remove Bower - NPM has taken over as the FE package manager and bower use has declined over the years. Deprecating the https://github.com/pure-css/pure-release repository would be the first step.
5. Audit all existing styles to ensure latest CSS spec is met.

CSS Grid is coming https://caniuse.com/#feat=css-grid

@lkraav Do you think Pure needs to provide anything with CSS Grid? Seems like grids are pretty specific to each applications own needs. I'm not sure what Pure would provide that applications couldn't do themselves.

Is there any possible redesign a new look ?
BTW, the line-gradient performance is not that good in mobile device(includes the webview).

Do you think Pure needs to provide anything with CSS Grid?

@redonkulus back-compat comes to mind.

Imagine all the elements w/ pure classes out there around the world.

They could in theory maybe get 1-click upgraded to CSS grid, and continue building from there. Wdyt?

[redonkulus]

I'd be interested to see what that means and how the upgrade would work.

@mathxlee The pure code base needs to be modernized, open to any who wants to do the work.

If possible, i would like to redesign a new UI or use my UI(https://github.com/VIPUI/VIPUI), or maybe you would think it's ugly, haha, anyway, i really hope that we could build a new modern UI together, and also could import into any modern mvvm framework.

If possible, I would like to maintain pure, as the company I work with uses pure in their web front-end enterprise applications that handle telecommunication services.
In a roadmap as proposed by our team, they want me to audit existing styles and remove hacks for old browsers to reduce sizes and improving many things en-way. Since I would anyway be submitting PRs for these improvements and this is quite close to what you have in your roadmap, it would be wonderful if I could maintain it.

@Oxyenyos thanks for offering to help maintain Pure. Your help and support is much appreciated.

I think since this is a new collaboration, I think it’s best to start small and have you work on some smaller PRs (like removing old browser hacks). Then tackle larger items as we would out the collaboration model. How does that sound?
