[aerogear-dev] Fwd: Website restructure

[Karel Piwko]

Looks good!

Apart for platform related code (JavaScript, Objective-C, Java), are there any
plans to support platform related text?

E.g. pipes on Aerogear can be used within FragmentActivity, which is valid for
Android only; Javadoc is not related to iOS, etc. That's basically a merge of
our guides into a one per feature with information covering all the platforms.

Which brings me to and idea of global platform switch. User/reader can switch
platform once and all code snippets and platform related blocks are
automatically selected. Can also be session based and affect all pages user
visits.
