Hi everyone!
I hope you are enjoying the brand-new website!
There is still content to come, like additional tutorials, more examples, screencasts, documentation, case studies and other resources that may help you to feel productive and create cool stuff with NME!
Other than increasing the amount of content that is available, I would love to hear your constructive feedback on areas like the forums, or things I may not have thought of yet. I'm all ears!
Thanks and have a great day

website
Hey sing,
I'm digging it so far. A few things I would like to see are
1. Diagram of how all the tech pieces work together. i.e How haXe works with NME works with the compiler works with device api
2. Change log
I've just started digging around, so maybe those things are out there, but I know they were a point of confusion for me.

RE: What do you think of the site?
Hi tacroy!
Thanks for the feedback.
There is new "How it Works" page under "About NME" that includes diagrams and descriptions for how the process works for different targets. I would love to hear your feedback if you have a chance to check it out. The "About NME" definitely needs to include some additional content, so if you have ideas for more pages to put under the section, let me know.
It isn't as thorough as all change logs might be, but there is a "changes" file that you can check out, from the source repository, here:
http://code.google.com/p/nekonme/source/browse/trunk/changes.txt...
Since you were working off of a dev repository, and not off the official haxelib project, some changes (like webOS support) are not new, but you may not be on the new install tool, which automates the package and install process for each platform. Doing this yourself for webOS wasn't very hard, already, but the advantage of this tool is that it makes it just as easy to compile for Windows, or Android, or iOS, making it simple to go cross-platform.

The idea of this site is great!
One thing what I need is something like "All posts from your last visit" on the forum, because I don't want to miss anything

RE: What do you think of the site?
Hi jorul,
Good idea! I don't think it will be easy to implement, but I like that feature. I forgot about it. I think the next step will be to implement RSS feeds, to make it easier to follow the forums. In the meantime, you can monitor one (or all) of the forum categories, so you will receive email messages whenever there is a reply. That might make it act more like a mailing list, but I agree, having a quick way to know "what's new" is handy!

New posts functionality
Hi Joshua,
I am glad that you like my idea, but if it is much time consuming to implement I think you should abandon this idea and spend all your time, which you have for this site on writing some new tutorials and articles. I like all your texts very much and I hope to see more It should be much more useful for growing community and help for newbies than even the best forum script With time, forum and site functionality can be improved of course, but in my opinion it shouldn't have high priority.

Default Tags
Since Haxe ist a multiplatform language and by far one of the best, it might be cool if we could tag our Topics with a target. For example if I write a tutorial for the HP Touchpad it would be in my case targeted to Flash,WebOS, Android and iOS. It might be much easier to search or browse this forum. Also I would love to see a wiki for nme where it is allowed or even wanted to post tutorials and code snippets for several topics.
Code highlighting for the forum would also be a great feature. Thanks for all the work you put in this.

Fresh and Clean
The site is looking pretty clean. I like the minimalist style. I think its a good approach for a site focused on information. (in this case, programming)

nice design + suggestions
@jorul depending on your browser, you can have a page monitor, for example in google chrome , I monitor the forum page and every 15 minutes it will ping and diff the page from the known copy, if there is a change it will ping you
loving the site design, minimalistic and clean.
you need to showcase more though, seriously, like released apps and Getting Started page <--this is my go to page for EVERY sdk I evaluate. Link that screencast where you code that game from scratch, that's a good showcase

Re: What do you think of the site?
Hi everyone!
Just wanted to let you know that I've enabled some RSS feeds for the forums. You can now subscribe to either all of the discussions, at the top-level, or just to specific forums.

Re: What do you think of the site?
Could you add a way to search the site/forum?

Re: What do you think of the site?
If you go to the top-level forums page, there is a box you can use to search the forums.
It hadn't made sense to have a site-wide search in the past, but as the documentation continues to get fleshed out more I'm sure we'll add one

Re: What do you think of the site?
Hi,
I was just wondering if there is an RSS feed for this site, and for your blog?

Re: What do you think of the site?
Yes, there's an RSS feed for my blog, the NME blog and there should be RSS feeds for either the full forums, or (I think) for each category. I think that the full feed will update with every comment, while the category feeds will update for when a new topic is posted
