SIMPLICITY No. 2 Contains quotations and excepts from… The Laws
of Simplicity by John Maeda
“ Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious, and adding the
meaningful. ” The Laws of Simplicity by John Maeda

“Subviews” in Backbone

“Subviews” in Ember
{{view Warble.VolumeControlView}} control_view.hbs Warble.JukeboxController = Ember.ObjectController.extend({ volumeChanged: function(e) {}
}); jukebox_controller.coffee
{{view Warble.VolumeControlView}} Warble.JukeboxController = Ember.ObjectController.extend({ volumeChanged: function(e) {} });
{{view Warble.VolumeControlView}} Warble.JukeboxController = Ember.ObjectController.extend({ volumeChanged: function(e) {} });
1. Specify a Subview (2. Customize)
Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious, and adding the meaningful.

Don’t repeat yourself.
<div class="avatar-‐wrapper"> <img src="{{avatar.h48.url}}" … class="avatar big" /> </div>
<i class="avatar-‐profile" data-‐image= "<%= current_user.avatar.full"></i> <span class="avatar-‐wrapper"> <img src="{{author.avatar.url}}" … class="avatar" /> <span class="guest-‐indicator"></span> </span> <div class="avatar uploader" data-‐role="uploader"> <img src="{{url}}" alt="…" title="{{../../name}}" class="avatar big" /> <label class="button button-‐upload icon"> … </div>

Uniform tag construction Consistent image sizes! Documented options Easy-to-Update Forget
