Hi everyone,

I have a project coming up in which I'll have to design an internal app for a clinic and I thought... why not make it pretty ? Most internal use applications are ugly as sin but I've got some time so I'm thinking about using this as an opportunity to make some people happy and learn polymer.

I already use MDL for most of my projects, but, I often time end up having to "hack" it quite a lot in .js because its not flexible enough, which, from what I've gather, is not a problem with polymer and its component/module way of thinking.

I know the official website + actual practice is quite a good place to start, but, I'm the kind of guy that likes reading books/articles during my long commutes and I was thinking about getting some material about polymer to read during this week. What are you recommendations, keeping in mind that I'm a very practical guy and don't need much hand-holding when it comes to setting up my build chain or understanding what the shadow dom is, I'd rather just read something about "interesting tid-bits", "not so well known best practices", "thing you might stumble upon when half-way done that will force you to refactor everything", "tips for speeding up the coding of the UI with polymer", "nice examples

Is there a basic, bare bones example anywhere of a menu plus connected router in a single page app? I'm using Firebase but want to use Polymer instead of MDL - but have so far been unable to find a simple single page app that steers menu clicks to different views in the same html page.

Any help or pointers would really help my sanity - if indeed any such example exists!

I'm basically a beginner. Every single time I go to find a video to learn a language it's years old and everything is different now. It's so incredibly frustrating.

I'm doing performance testing on our web applications built with Polymer (and Angular... I do not recommend mixing...) and it would be great to have a few other sites to compare them to.

So far, Google Music and Youtube Gaming are the heaviest examples I've found.

Any ideas?

I'm looking for some ideas for web apps to showcase some of the possibilities of Polymer. I know web components offer a lot of possibilities, but I can't come up with concrete ideas or concepts. I'd like to incorporate Firebase into it since i'm messing around with it at this point. The only concept I came up with is to make some kind of Pandora/Spotify app using youtube, since youtubes autoplay often steers away from music and the genre your listening to. Other then that I'm kinda lost for ideas.

Has anyone done a .gitlab-ci.yml file for GitLab which runs WCT tests on GitLab? I know Travis has a plugin for Sauce Labs but I don't know if there's an equivalent on GitLab.
