In Chrome Devtools debugger, you can click on the Async checkbox next to where the call stack is. So, when paused, you can see the full stack. (If you are not on the latest chrome, this might need to be enabled in experiments).

And this show why it is a bit difficult to choose what to show, among all the things from the call stack (including async stuff) that triggered something. For one thing you could possibly ignore libary code (e.g. http://www.divshot.com/blog/tips-and-tricks/ignoring-library-code-while-debugging-in-chrome/ ) but if you have a medium to big SPA with many backbone/wreqr events, let's say, you would still need to look in the stack manually.

There are about a zillion drag & drop web designer tools out there, all with varying angles and subtly different markets. The ones I know of are:

http://www.appgyver.com/composer

https://polymer-designer.appspot.com/

http://www.weebly.com/

https://webflow.com/

http://froont.com/

http://www.google.com/webdesigner/

http://sparkle.cx/

There's also a bunch of desktop software that does this too - remember FrontPage and DreamWeaver?

I thought about getting into this market but it is so crowded that it's unlikely there'll be one clear winner. Instead, every designer seems to have their favorite tool.

I also believe in the technology and the general architecture you're espousing. I found the content on http://www.staticapps.org well written and constructive and the links to http://www.divshot.com are unobtrusive.

My reaction to http://www.divshot.com is something else entirely. To solve the "problem" of static file hosting and deployment with a service that is "compatible with Angular and Firebase" and supports "pushState with custom routes" is clearly disingenuous.

Not that there's anything wrong with effective marketing. If your target audience is people who don't know what the words mean, then knock yourself out.

Truly impressive. I'd also like to see the Rails team focus on Rails-as-API for those of us who have moved on from the asset pipeline (splitting the server side from client side).

It would be nice to have a "API only" flag option when generating a new rails project. Something like: `rails new myapp -api`. This could keep Rails going for another 10 years.

I'm looking into using Napa, a Grape based API framework, for the purpose of Ruby server-side API apps: https://github.com/bellycard/napa

(Napa is to Grape as Padrino is to Sinatra)

Are you a <div>?

We're building tools to make web development fitter, happier, and more productive and we're looking to hire full-stack and front-end web engineers.

If you love working with bleeding-edge browser technologies, shipping open source, attending hackathons, and lots and lots of JavaScript (Ruby too? Bonus!) let us know!

H1B, REMOTE, and INTERN positions available for the right candidates.

There are a number of sites/webapps that do this already. I think the fact that it is a standalone app is actually kind of refreshing and opens them up for things like inclusion in the Mac App store.

http://divshot.com
http://jetstrap.com

All do this directly at:

There are a bunch of web apps that do aspects of this (button, form and theme builders).
