[EDIT]: This an old project of mine which is not obsolete but not that modern. Here is the Trello board. Unfortunately I never had time to implement all tasks labeled as MUST. The most missing part is a true beautiful circular menu instead of those temporary green buttons. The most essential functionalities are there nonetheless.
This a basic demo of the node-webkit engine and the Aviary SDK written with Backbone and Mokuai.
This demo requires node-webkit >= v0.11.5.
The goal of the project was to learn some cool technologies.
First, I wanted to test the new kid : node-webkit. I love the ground concept. I thought it would be a good way to discover node while continuing to learn HTML5. When I was active on this project, electron was unknown to me. I'm not even sure it was public.
In the HTML5 area, I wanted to experiment with:
- SVG animations
- CSS animations
- a tutorial library like Chardin or Tourist
- CSS filters like blur, desaturate, etc.
- Jade templates
- A better gruntfile organization with load-grunt-config
In the node area, I wanted to experiment with:
- fs operations
- Q promises
This project allowed me also to try the awesome Mokuai plugin which makes code and require boilerplate a breeze.
