Announcing “BloxPress”: a Ajax Web2.0 Theme

  • Hi everybody.

    I don’t know if you know but i am working on an already pretty mature project called “BloxPress”.

    It is based on my first ment-blox drag/drop theme i started with. After a while i decided to discontinue the work on that theme because the project was gone to be a much bigger thing then ever planned.

    BloxPress is an Web 2.0 Theme Framework for WordPress.

    It’s fully compatible to any WordPress 1.5.2 vanilla install. Just throw it in and you are set.

    What’s Web 2.0?
    in short terms: “This a€?Web 2.0a€3 thing puts the content in the hands of the user.”, in BloxPress your user has full control of the entire content-layout and is also able to save/reload it and to choose from your layout presets.

    Why it’s supposed to be Framework?
    I wrote an own theme engine within the theme environment of WordPress enabling designers to take advantage of the latest technologies. -> On-demand content loading over AJAX.

    But…
    The whole project is too huge to put in this little textbox: Best thing you can do is to visit the dedicated site and read thru the docs.

    This is something completly different and hands a lot of power to Bloggers, Visitors and Designers.

    There will be BETA-Releases in a few, but what i really could need right now is some feedback on various aspects of my concepts. Theres a Project-Chat forum for this purpose and also feel free to comment the latest news.

    Feel free to suggest features in case you are missing something. I will add anything of use!

    Thanks, and i hope you like it.

  • Ugh…I had a duplicate post, edited one and the other disappeared.

    Anyway, what I said in the first one (more eloquently than this time I’m sure) is that whatever it’s called (2.0, 23.0, whatever), if it makes things easier for those of us who don’t earn a living doing development, then it’s worth trying.

    I see a ton of movement for the first time in years on the Internet and it’s exciting because it’s being driven by more of a grass-roots swell than the “big boys”. Call it what you will, it’s driving much more innovation and user-friendliness than I’ve seen in a long time. I’m planning to watch this thread for progress on this theme/application/whatever to see if it’s something I can use.

    It’s probably worth not getting boxed up in the question of whether “Web2.0” is a rash fad or glimpse of the future and sorting out the good stuff from the mediocre from the downright bad instead. There’s far more good than I’ve seen in a very long time.

    tg: the reply is already in my response before and to shorten it, i’ll quote rmhsmusic in reply: “Call it what you will, it’s driving much more innovation and user-friendliness than I’ve seen in a long time.”

    Considering this your example with the gun is pointless since “gun” and “shooting” has negative effects. My application and the whole Web2.0 dicussion has no negative sides in their context. Also i can’t find any reasons in your replys why this is so-and-so and better-be-like.

    Maybe this one ?
    “[…]when it comes to practical use, it shouldn’t be used for the sake of being used.”

    Here comes my example: I shouldn’t use “soap” just for the sake of using “soap”. i should rather only use “soap” where my hands are dirty, right? .. come on.. gimme a break.

    That “web2.0” means nothing is wrong btw… read this, this and this and maybe also this

    And furthermore: This is not a Web 2.0 discussion and not to be overtaken. This is about a addon i write which actually enhance wordpress and user expirience. It is really that simple ??
    ’nuff said..

    @everyone:
    There is no download yet! ??

    I am busy in development but made some good progress in the last week and over the weekend so i can say that i am pretty close to get something public soon. Stay tuned. Latest infos can always be found on the website.

    Thanks for all the nice feedback recently.
