Some Acre Goodies get you going faster

I’ve spent some effort to cleanup and condense some of the things we do over and over again in acre, for example:

  1. how to start with a reasonable CSS stylesheet that doesn’t look ugly but it’s also not a pain to use
  2. a series of highly reusable HTML fragments that do the things we do all the time (like, add jquery to this page, or add a header and a footer, etc)
  3. document a series of javascript libraries that enhance the default Acre environment and simplify your life

So, look here:

  • http://default.freebaseapps.com/ – contains some templates that create simple HTML fragments for you to use and a default CSS stylesheet that makes your page look reasonable from the get go (the app uses its own default_stylesheet so it will look like that one)
  • http://libraries.freebaseapps.com/ – lists useful JS libraries that you can use alongside with example code you can cut/paste to get you going
  • http://wiki.freebase.com/wiki/Acre_Recipes – contains useful recipes and code fragments that you can cut/paste in your app to do useful things in acre that are not obvious. Now wikified! so you can add/request your own.

Enjoy!
