I would have a lot more interest in what this blog post said if the page actually had good performance.

Owch, but fair point.

If you are willing to accept some excuses (one can hope?), our dev blog is running the yet-to-be-released version of HubSpot's new blogging tool and is very much a work in progress. Also, the pages served by that blog (and our CMS) are not related to the tool this post is talking about.

But nonetheless, we need to make it faster. Thanks for the feedback.

Cool work on this stuff guys, but http://tbranyen.com/u/cae5c180.png is not a good start.

Maybe I should have linked to the internal legacy version of the code (https://github.com/HubSpot/asset_bender/tree/master) instead of the new in-progress v2 (https://github.com/HubSpot/asset_bender/tree/future)?

The point is that we'd rather gather feedback and hear from the community before we assume that everything we've done internally is exactly what other people and companies need. And sure, it would be awesome if we had a super polished version ready for anyone to use, but we kind of want to gauge interest before plowing ahead on v2 in isolation.

ps: About the forks, I'd love to get them merged upstream, but I have the feeling that they diverge more than the owners would like. But yes, we need to have that conversation (and suggestions are welcome, I'm pretty new to the ruby community).

Fair enough. I didn't want to be harsh, but whenever something new comes out I like to try it right away. As of right now, it's looks too involved to get started with.

Sort that part out asap if you want people to give feedback and try it!
