Another option is to just let the designer explore and put forward ideas of color/designs that are both modern and differentiated enough from other frameworks. Martyn is a quite capable, rather senior designer who can do a brand/color study as a part of these suggestions. Otherwise we'll literally

Oh! Zero apologies needed and my bad if my written tone came off harsh. Sometimes at my company we try to make it clear upfront if we're having a "bonfire" or "boardroom" chat. A bonfire chat is just a friendlier exploration of ideas and brainstorming versus a boardroom chat being more of a "lets p

My 2 cents: I think the blue and yellow theme is the better of the two. For some reason, the blue and green theme does not work for me. Grails is a full-stack, convention-over-configuration web framework that emphasizes developer productivity, rapid development, and seamless integration with Groov

I tend to lean towards the orange with the blue. I do like the green for the legacy and spring related reasons but it doesn't jive well with the blue, IMO. *Regards,* *Justin Dodson* *(913) 267 - 2671* On Wed, Mar 19, 2025 at 11:57 AM James Fredley wrote: > Posting here on behalf of Martyn Du

I've been considering making an updated Grails series for some time. I'm not aware of any modern learning resources out there beyond Grails 3. I'd be happy to try and put something together if no one has any other resource recommendations. *Regards,* *Justin Dodson* *(913) 267 - 2671* On Fri, M

Hey everyone, Thanks so much for the feedback so far - good themes emerging that I’ll use to anchor the next round of design explorations. One area I’d love your input on: learning resources. Are there any standout video tutorials or guides you’d recommend featuring on the new site? I’m especial

Fantastic idea, Andrew! I, for one, would love to see an ideas from a designer rather than design by committee. Although, if the site refresh is needed quickly then perhaps voting between the two is the only option. Not sure on the timeline for this? I’d imagine it isn’t super pressing. - Ju

I would love to see Grails 7 getting in touch with its origins to pave its legacy. The original green should get back, with the complementary orange links, supporting the new rounded logo. On the selling proposition, I would give the following priorities: *1. Enterprise grade* - 20 years of e
