Khan Academy uses Backbone & React, checkout out their github.

ex. https://github.com/Khan/perseus

React's blog usually has some open source projects featured as well - facebook.github.io/react/blog

Re:Choosing the Right JavaScript Framework on Thursday August 21, 2014 @04:07PM (#8209289)
I'd recommend looking at the docs on Flux, it explains it all better than I could.
You can require dependencies and assets from the file system or straight from GitHub:

Oh my. You've essentially killed Bower and NPM in one swoop then haven't you?

An exciting time to be a web developer to say the least, this looks simply amazing.

Re:Choosing the Right JavaScript Framework on Thursday August 21, 2014 @01:57PM (#8208676)
There's no standards, but at this point I'd say Flux + React-router are quickly becoming it. react-router is made in the spirit of Ember's which is pretty well liked.

- Flux Architecture Pattern [0]

- React Router [1]

Note that there isn't really a prescribed model in Angular aside from $scope either.

Which ones are you running? With Ghostery alone, everything works on my end.

The author of this article seems to be a woman, not a man.

Also, it's a lot easier to just use 'they' instead of he/she most of the time anyways, food for thought.

Re:Introducing Rec Room on Monday August 18, 2014 @01:17PM (#8193538)
Maybe it's the active development part of it? Things are changing fast and it's still not even at 0.1.0.

From the docs:

Although potentially exciting, this is still really a WIP, use at your own risk.

I’ve been working on extracting something out of the way I’ve been creating web apps at Mozilla that you can use to write your next web app.

I didn't know Ember was already being used at Mozilla, that's pretty neat! It seems to be popping up everywhere these days

Re:Are JS Mobile Apps Worth It? on Sunday August 17, 2014 @07:09PM (#8190792)
Definitely not. Most of the time when I encounter an obvious webpage disguised as a native application, I feel deceived and underwhelmed.

Maybe a little over the top, but honestly it's true. Build a fast, responsive mobile site and be honest about what you're producing. If you want the web and its technologies to win, build and present with the web.

The audience for this sort of content is probably more familiar with issues and pull requests than the wiki equivalent.

Plus it's easily discoverable, forkable etc..

Beautiful editor, what's it built with?

(And indeed Safari on Yosemite can do just that in the developer previews)

Yep, it's definitely a bit buggy and stops occasionally but it's usable!

This sounds exactly like what you're looking for! [0]

You’re a new coder. You’re interested in learning how to code, not just syntax. You’re sick of monkey-see, monkey-do types of tutorials.

Let’s set your teeth into some real coding. Your hand will be held in the beginning, but as you progress you’ll see yourself approaching the projects more comfortably.

Re:React v0.11 on Friday July 18, 2014 @03:27AM (#8052044)
If you've ever used Ember's router and liked it, I'd suggest the react-nested-router[0]. So easy to use

Software wise, there is https://lobste.rs/.

It's updated fairly often, (the oldest link on the front page is only 3 days old), and the comments are typically high quality.

It is invite only though atm.
