New Program Thoughts ???

[gl33]

How about a responsive, fluid type new program that sets percentages around containers, frames and borders as to fit to any screen and of course be able to set break points.

Make it a native 64 bit program and keep it basic. Not much more than, a master page/border, menu/page - navigation/management, inserting code, images and text. With features to make those things easy to do.

Later NOF could add apps that are separate being no problem compatible with the base program. Also the end user could use any 3rd party app they want. Easier for the developers and programmers to create and less time to market.

This would eliminate the giant one ball does all program with possible hard to fix bugs and semi-functional features. Many programs fixes are never completed and carried over to the next major release because of the demand to produce a """new and improved version""".

So only the features wanted are loaded and used, keeping bloat down, making loading, saving, and publishing faster.This type of program would certainly get my attention.

Kind Regards
Donald

Artificial intelligence perhaps?

Artificial intelligence perhaps?

Two months ago I threw a word here: AI.

Now here below is the proof that sharp minds are already working on it.

Artificial Intelligence Websites That Design Themselves? Wow ...
Goodbye Templates? Wow .......
The Right Shot Every Time? Wow ...
Set Up Shop In Seconds? On-Demand E-Commerce?? Wow ...

Can this be true? The Grid Is The Website Of The Future: It Builds Itself.

This is what they call 'ahead of time' ...

I bet NOF is on top of it.

There are plenty of responsive page designers out there and it is trivial to include one or more responsive pages in a NoF site simply by using a custom link on the nav bar. The same way we include galleries, lightboxs and any other external code. So you can easily have a responsive home page and then links pointing to NoF for more indepth content (because one thing responsive sites are NOT good for is providing amounts of detailed, in-depth content).

And when you think that after NOF 2016 is released you shall have to wait an extra six months until the release bugs are fixed, you will realize how time irons out everything ...

Design is a function of two things: experience and imagination. Good design adds taste to these parameters. AI can never compete with human design because although it may eventually be superior in experience - because of its superior memory, it can never exceed a human in imagination and taste, because these parameters are entirely unquantifiable other than by what has gone before - and anybody can do that. Therefore, AI may be of use to those lacking experience, imagination, and taste, but they will never be great designers or, probably, even successful ones. I think this package is a waste of most people's time.

Chatting on these lines: I made US$200,000 in three years (1998 - 2001) designing web sites for a living using NOF and made my several websites which launched my money management career with NOF exclusively except for Ace FreeFTP.
How come I did not realize I wasted my time?

Re: AI.
AI is not for replacing humans. It's just a crutch to help in those moments when man needs help. Mind energy does NOT work 24 / 365 and something is always needed to fill in some downtime.

As for experience, imagination, taste and great men of sorts, I say this:

Great men spend time,
little men waste time.

I'd love to see a bit of AI in the new NOF version! ...
