Thoughts on my first published project

[yusaf]

Originally I would never have considered using git. It was simply terrifying. I didn’t like the commands I found the terminology confusing, but it really is a godsend. I by no means however completely understand it, and is still a little daunting.

On top of that I released my first little project http://dialogjs.com/ which is a first. Having never released a project I have no real guideline on writing documentation or what makes it successful except for looking at well documented sites such a jQuery/PHP/MDN

I just wanted feedback as to what improvements can be made on ANY aspect of what I’ve done so far, whether it be the style or even the source code of my project found here.

How about a working pen? ;-)

I knew this would come up. because the file is hosted via GitHub which only allows http and not https for webpages you have to load codepen as http as opposed to https for it to work !!!! it’s in the html part of the pen!!! I can’t seem to post http only links in the forum. it’s automatically changed to https.

If it’s not working go to https://codepen.io/yusaf/pen/QwxOmZ

That should definitely work I’ve tested https://codepen.io/yusaf/full/QwxOmZ on my phone and IE8 both work fine

Well, I certainly like the style. But I’m not too sure it would be easy for others to use when the variable content is coded inside the script. If it’s meant to be a plugin then it may be worth separating the permanent structure from what is customisable.

Have you noticed the cog icons next to HTML/CSS/JS on Codepen? If you click on them, there are options to link to scripts and other content.

[yusaf]

It’s not a plugin. That is just the minified library and is to be ignored. I am aware you can link the scripts using the cogs but like you first commented it breaks when codepen is loaded via https as the library is not served over https. to overcome this I pasted the script into the html and the actual usage code remains in the javascript box.
