Sorry for the delay, as I was looking into a few of the following (and making various, mostly unsatisfying, progress)...</div><div><ul><li>Re: synching on each tab switch & resultant unresponsiveness - I briefly looked into this a while back (because I also hate waiting), and it looked like the app's various display functions asking about version availability triggers the fetches. I also expected some caching, but the slots I thought would contain the fetch results seemed to remain unbound after the fetch. I will look harder, as this smells like I don't understand what I'm looking at.</li><li>Re: the dependency graph - FYI is it a dependency graph of the known-to-ASDF systems (often updated after installing a quicklisp release/system).

I only go so far as to textually indicate which quicklisp systems are provided by the selected quicklisp release, and textually indicate which quicklisp systems depend upon the selected quicklisp system.</li><li>Re: single-box t - what is the best idiomatic way/place to do this?

Do you mean just stop hanging "inspector" commands on the various presentations? If so, I agree I would like to be able to do this (a "release" build vs a "debug" build). What is the best idiomatic way to do this? Should I push something onto *features* and use #-DEBUG or something like that, or is there some ASDF derived system definition idiom?</li></ul><div>Thanks again for the feedback, and I will try and address it - especially the unresponsive bit...</div></div><div><br></div><div>-jm</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Nov 5, 2017 at 4:22 AM, Daniel Kochmański <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:daniel@turtleware.eu" target="_blank">daniel@turtleware.eu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p>Hey,</p>
<p>cool application. My two cents:</p>
<p>- I don't like that it synchronizes over http on each tab switch
(even if I go back to already visited tab) - some cache maybe?<br>
</p>
<p>- Fetching makes window unresponsive for a sec or two, maybe it
is worth to consider fetching in background, so user can change
his mind and switch to another tab</p>
<p>- I like dependency graph, I'd add some margin though</p>
<p>- For presentations :single-box t, so you have only one box for
selection when you hover with mouse</p>
<p>- Having two layouts - one with inspector and the second without
it would be nice</p>
<p>- Looking at ASD definition - mcclim-truetype is enabled by
default now anyway (it is commented)</p>
<p>- Add dependency on #:mcclim-layouts/tab since you use it</p>
<p>That is what comes to my head. I like the idea and general
organization of panes. Congrats :)<br>
</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>
<p>Daniel<br>
