Hi everyone!

It seems like Dawn is getting more impressions lately.

Generally, as of Dawn 5.6, I'm happy with Dawn's foundation, widgets, animations, CLI, and source code readability.

To-dos

Some things need to be addressed:

dawn.animation

This library looks good IMO.

dawn.foundation

• ~~Implement strongly-typed styles~~
• [x] Implement safer event listeners via PaintedNode.addEventSubscription API.

dawn.widgets

• ~~Implement Video~~
• ~~Implement Input~~
• [x] Implement full extensibility via SingleChildNode, MultiChildNode, ChildlessPaintedNode, SingleChildPaintedNode, and MultiChildPaintedNode. Users can now fully implement their own widgets like Input, Video, etc.

dawn

• [x] Add documentation to the public API
• [x] Rewrite and improve the CLI by refactoring the dawn create command and removing the dawn compile command.

Dawn's Website

• [x] Update the color scheme according to Dawn's new logo.
• ~~Serve markdown content.~~

This is a simple widget, but when you click on the hot restart, it turns out to add more elements to the tree Below is a video to reproduce the effect

I want to build a landing page with this framework, but it seems the widget is not more,

Is there and contribution guide? I want to help you build more widgets. We can chat on twitter

A simple text input element. The value entered can be read with Dart by

final InputElement inputElement = document.getElementById('textfield') as InputElement;
final String? text = inputElement.value;
print(text);

Currently if you visit a page made with Dawn with Javascript disabled in your browser, you'll just see a blank page. There should be a warning, something like "this page needs Javascript to work", when JS is disabled. This is possible to do with the HTML <noscript> tag.

Hello, I found this package very interesting for creating web pages with Dart. :-)

But with dawn also exists a lot of other web frameworks inspired by Flutter which you can use for creating of web pages. For example I am using and contributing into this project: https://github.com/schultek/jaspr which is very similar to dawn and I think it can be time losting when more people work on same thing more times..

So I would like to ask you if are you not interested into join to our growing community of developers around Jaspr project and make one great Dart Web framework together?

I work on this PR: https://github.com/schultek/jaspr/pull/13 right now. And for better communication we are using also Discord: https://discord.gg/G8pH8X4u So if you would like to join to us, so you are welcome ;-)

I tried my best to code this repo is clear as possible. However if you see the need for it, react with thumbs up to this comment.

I'm also open for your pull request for documentation improvements.

Currently the README content is very minimalistic and doesn't provide much information about the package and its abilities. So, it definitely should get some improvements.

I'm open for your ideas on what sections should be included in README.
