One thing I'm just now realizing is that I'm not very good at making screencasts!

Did you happen to notice the link at the bottom of the page to this article?

http://williamcotton.com/another-way-to-publish-code

I'm thinking I might need to move a lot of elements from that article to the front-page of CorsLIT!

If you did read the follow-up article, I apologize for not being able to present a clear explanation of how lit attempts to solve the problems presented in the original article!

I'm also realizing that I should make a longer form screencast, say about 5 minutes in length, that shows how I use lit on a daily basis to build applications while sharing as much modular code as I can, with as little friction as possible!



The article I didn't really see (actually I saw the link but thought it goes back to the introductionary article, didn't read properly enough).

I got now a better understanding at what you're trying to solve. What I didn't quite get yet is: How is this supposed to help regarding bower/npm json files? Or am I on the wrong track here?


Dude, no worries, I've realized I didn't do the best job of presenting the information or highlighting that link. You were not alone in your confusion, haha.

My ultimate goal is to not have to use server-side tools for managing front-end dependencies.

I would like to leave bower and npm out of it completely. Making node or any other full language stack a dependency for front-end development is the wrong way to go about it, in my opinion.

There's just too much friction between filesystems and the browser.


Sorry for not replying, I never keep up with my comments on here. I did see the article, and that helped a bit. Again, not trying to bash it -- seems like a great idea, and I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it.


I too didn't really understand what Lit/CorsLIT is supposed to do, but your writing and awesome marketing did get me excited. Definitely interested in a longer article or screencast!
