Displaying 1 To 9 Of 9 Comments Review Of Headway – Where SquareSpace Meets WordPress @Richard Johnson -When Headway was first built, there might have been a lot of code. However, with the newest version, 1.7 and soon to be out, there are fewer lines of code and it is screaming fast too. I do not believe you have any worries with there being bloat in Headway. If there is one think Clay keeps very focused on it is the speed and function of Headway. » Posted By Grant Griffiths On August 22, 2010 @ 1:25 PM @Ken -Sorry about not hitting on this in my last reply to you Ken. However, I understand your feelings about the Photo Gallery Leaf and the fact it is now a “plugin”. Let me clear up something here. It is a Headway specific only plugin. Making this feature a plugin gives us a better way to service this feature. We removed it from the Headway core since not everyone needs it and the fact we are trying to clean up the core code of Headway to make it run faster and smoother. This is something we plan to continue to work on too. The new photo gallery ‘plugin’ is much better and does not have the issues it did when it was a Leaf. Plus, once it is released with the next version of Headway, coming soon by the way, we will be looking for input from those who will be using it the most. There is no reason the photo gallery can not continue to be better and better. » Posted By Grant Griffiths On August 22, 2010 @ 1:19 PM @Lopo Lencastre de Almeida – According to Matt at WordPress, we are completely legal according to the GPL. » Posted By Grant Griffiths On August 22, 2010 @ 1:13 PM @Ken – Have you tried the Photo Gallery now that it is a plugin? It will be much better now that it is rebuilt as a plugin and I have already seen that it is. » Posted By Grant Griffiths On August 22, 2010 @ 12:36 PM Jeffro – Thanks for the great review of Headway Themes. Just to clarify one point you made however. The current stable version of Headway Themes is 1.6.6 The next version will be out very soon to the public. As you eluded to, 1.7 is currently in Beta and the input from our developer license holders has been great. The comments and response to 1.7 has also been outstanding and we are looking forward to getting it out to the public very soon. » Posted By Grant Griffiths On August 20, 2010 @ 12:16 PM Which OpenCamp WordPress Presentation Do You Want To Hear? Hey Jeffro – Clay and I will both be in Dallas for OpenCamp. Looking forward to sitting and visiting in person again. » Posted By Grant Griffiths On August 20, 2010 @ 2:07 PM Cutline Dropped On WordPress.com In Favor Of Coraline Hey Jeffro – The recent actions and comments made by Matt and others associated with WordPress and Automattic should make everyone sit up and notice. And even more, it should cause the Community to wonder what the hell is going on. In my own humble opinion, I question whether the best interest of the community is even coming into any decisions or discussions taking place right now by WordPress. I also hope the writing is not on the wall when it comes to perhaps the “chosen one” theme or framework. Is WordPress and another company attempting to take the position that there is only one theme or framework out there for WordPress. Surely, the utopia which is being strived for is not one where competition and innovation is squashed in favor of “the one chosen” theme or framework. It is my hope and the hope of others this does not happen. The WordPress community will not be served by WordPress having a “one chosen” theme or framework. Competition by its very nature breeds innovation. It is competition that causes Headway, Thesis, iThemes and Press75 to continue to build and innovate. And this is what benefits the community. As Seth Godin stated recently, ” Competition validates you. It creates a category. It permits the sale to be this or that, not yes or no. And this or that is a much easier sale to make. It also makes decisions about pricing easier, because you have someone to compare against and lean on.” The actions of WordPress and those in charge lately causes one to worry if the competitive market place will no longer be in existence at WordPress. It surely causes one to be concerned if the community as a whole will suffer because of it. I fear we may be seeing the idea of a utopia get in the way of the free market driven innovation that has benefited the WordPress community for so long. I hope I am wrong and that I eat these words. » Posted By Grant Griffiths On August 11, 2010 @ 4:07 PM GPL Drinking On The WP Community Podcast Jeff – It was a great call and good discussion. I would like to ask however. If we had a split license and not totally GPL, would you still do a review of Headway? » Posted By Grant Griffiths On March 4, 2010 @ 2:54 PM New York Matt Mullenweg Interview Jeff – Don’t let the people you are interviewing trap you into answering your own questions. Even if it is Matt. Good interview otherwise. » Posted By Grant Griffiths On November 20, 2009 @ 10:10 AMComments Posted By Grant Griffiths
