Who is Orion's target user?
- CSS users are very important. Many developers spending a lot of time doing CSS development and are not well served by existing tools.
- Have a need for immediate feedback - tight edit/refresh cycle
- Embed Orion in the site being built to allow in-situ development (mod_orion)
- Server needs to be very easy to install
- Use server locally for offline support
What do small web developers use today?
- TextMate/Notepad
- JQuery/PHP
- Browser developer tools / Firebug
- Various lint tools
Developers of Giant Apps
- Need to be able to work on the site back end functionality as well as web front end
- Develop/debug cycle flows through client and server code
- HAML/SASS/LESS for build-time
- Compression/Closure
- JS Debuggers
Typical workflow:
- Edit/Test/Run/Debug (no build/compression)
- Package/deploy/Debug again (debugging deployed, packaged app)
