UI overhaul is required about rest-easy HOT 8 CLOSED

Custom CSS theme meaning a theme created entirely from scratch? I don't think that's a good solution, Bootstrap is created by a lot of people so I have more trust in it to handle different screen sizes.

I like it.

Very clean and it's different from layout of other firefox REST addons
(RESTClient for example)

@revolt666 I appreciate the concern, but we don't need most of the Bootstrap features for the add-on. Since the add-on will only ever run on Firefox, a lot of the cross-browser fixes/hacks are not needed. Support for Firefox Mobile was dropped, so the responsive classes are not needed either.

@nathan-osman I see, you're right. But you still need to pay attention to different screen sizes. I wish I could help you, but I'm busy these days, maybe in the future :D

Here's another screenshot of the left panel:

I've started using Ember.js and it has really helped speed up the development process. The table with the list of headers is a reusable component that lets you add and remove items to the table. It was implemented with 30 lines of JavaScript.

Once I finish the individual components, I'll begin connecting them to the code that actually sends the requests.

Okay, I have an alpha-quality release available for anyone who would like to give it a try:

http://files.quickmediasolutions.com/xpi/REST-Easy-0.2.9a.xpi

A few notes:

• the add-on uses the version number "0.2.9a" but the final release will be "0.3.0"
• sending requests works and you can view the headers / raw response / HTML preview
• syntax highlighting is missing as well as shortcut keys
• translations are not working yet
• POST data cannot be set

All of these issues will be fixed before the final release. Please let me know how it works if you decide to give it a try.

You could make the request type select menu disappear when clicked outside of it, and not just when clicked on the select button

This has now been merged into master in preparation for the next release.
