filsa.net: Frontier Scripting [ Script Archive | Ideas & Issues | Polyglot | Software | Projects ]

Welcome to
Ideas & Issues

Ideas and Issues is a place for:

  • a close look at Frontier scripts,
  • ideas for improvements,
  • sharing solutions to various scripting problems,
  • and a codebase for sharing scripts.

It is a sort of journal as I attempt various projects in Frontier.

Hope you find this place useful. Comments to phil@filsa.net.

Thanks to "Userland" for providing such a neat tool.

Using this site

Check this page for the latest entries. Most of the pages will have code or ideas in them--some will be fatpages.

Later, I'll index these according to topic: HTML, CGI's, UI, Bugs, etc.

Purpose

I want to share my user experience with Userland Software, and all my Frontier peers, in the hope that the exchange will

  • make Frontier better and easier to use, and
  • help people learn how to use Frontier, myself included.

Disclaimer

All these pages and ideas are merely that: ideas and pages. They are full of personal opinions, and they are not perfect or the best way to do things. Your feedback can only improve these ideas.

Using Stuff on this site

I hope these ideas help you. If there are any ideas here that you like, or code you'd like to borrow, please feel free to do so and take it. I've borrowed plenty in the past. If you feel the need to get in touch or ask permission, do so, but I'd encourage you to save time and take whatever you like from this ideas and issues site.

Unlike my Script Archive or other areas of the site it runs under a different copyright.

Think of it as a piece of code or idea you got from a friend. If you can use it or improve on it, please do so.

I think of it as a whiteboard for brainstorming.

And feel free to share what you've come up with--write me a letter and I'll post it to this site.

If Userland saw fit to use anything here, they are more than welcome to do so; I'd think it'd be cool, since I've borrowed so much code from them.

Cheers.
