I can see where you’re coming from with that.
I decided to reverse engineer discourse as my 1st dive into ember… The issue here is that they do some things differently and there’s more layers of “magic” to have to understand - I am ignoring the Ruby side of discourse so some of it is guess work!
I find I get stuff, understand how it all hangs together then I go and try something simple myself and it won’t work!! For instance: Help me figure this UI out!
I hacked it in the end - gave up trying to do it properly and just did it all in one template…
