FlexBox components on Adobe Developer Connection
Exactly a year ago today, I released a flex app I built over the weekend and called it flexbox .. many people loved it and since then it has received 115000 visitors from 4629 cities around the world and it still continues to receive hundreds of visitors everyday. I’m very glad to know that you guys liked it so much.
When FlexBox started off I had hoped that I would spend more time with it, improve the application and keep adding more components .. but all that never happened .. my apologies guys, last year was just crazy, it was quite fast moving with a lot of stuff happening and I never got time for flexbox.
A few months back some guys from Adobe approached me and told that they were working on this application codenamed yogi that would have a components explorer, they showed me a prototype that had some nice features like an inbuilt preview mechanism, a way to rate components, notifications when new components are added etc .. all this stuff was missing in FlexBox so I gladly gave them all the data from FlexBox to use in their new application. This application is now live and is called Adobe Developer Connection Desktop, its an AIR application and its really cool so check it out.
FlexBox of course is still available, I will try to add stuff to it whenever I can.
