Kirby + Patterns = <3

When I heard about Brad Frost's Patternlab for the first time at beyond tellerrand I was intrigued. The idea of splitting your design work for a website into simple modules or patterns isn't new and starts to become more and more of a standard. But organizing this into a very visual styleguide/patternlab seemed to make so much sense. Brad also introduced a very interesting approach with his separation of modules into categories, such as atoms, molecules and organisms.

I started porting Brad's patternlab app to Kirby, but it never really made it to something polished and it turned out for me after using it for Kirby's panel UI, that it's actually a pain in the ass to maintain such a pattern collection.

The problem of patternlab

The problem with such a styleguide or patternlab is that it exists next to the real thing. When you change something in your code base you also have to update the particular code for the pattern in patternlab. To be honest I went very quickly from being

Raspberry Pi with Kodi, LiveStreamsPro and TV Portuguesa

I'm currently testing OpenElec as a way of having Kodi running on a Raspberry Pi, I'm not a particular fan, but it seems to work fine.

Download the OpenElec image file for the Raspberry Pi.
Uncompress the downloaded file tar -xzf OpenELEC-Generic.x86_64-5.0.8.tar

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Box metrics

elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent
elem.clientLeft, elem.clientTop, elem.clientWidth, elem.clientHeight
elem.getClientRects(), elem.getBoundingClientRect()
