Show HN: my weekend project, PageBlox (pageblox.com)

  • I remember seeing this before, and for curiosity's sake went for a look: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3546149 (Posted six months ago.)

    Was this, umm, the same weekend?

  • This is neat, but I think these days if you're going to use a grid it might as well be responsive. For example this is a good responsive grid generator: http://gridpak.com/

    Or you could always use Bootstrap.

  • First thought: dragging doesn't resize boxes. broken.

    Second thought: dragging doesn't move boxes. broken.

    Other than that, very neat project. Hope you continue to build and develop this further.

  • Kinda neat, I don't see yet any added benefit over Bootstrap however - the problem it solves in a visual way is not really a problem for a mildly experience web developer and for the beginners it's not enough functionality IMO. As a thought experiment it's cool, as a viable product it would need some work.

  • I'd reconsider using blueprint, AFAIK it's no longer maintained. I'd go for bootstrap or foundation.

  • page doesn't load here.

  • UURRGH the soap-bar buttons are back from the 90s! Help!
