:-)

i really have to apologize for the hosting. i'm using some experimental hosting software instead of a battle hardened solution. if anyone is having issues with the site you can clone your own repo and just open the index.html in your browser locally without installing anything.

site will become more stable over then next few weeks.

yes...and where exactly is the code with demos? where is the support? where is the server-side node.js implementation?

I'm actually using .flf (FIGlet) files as fonts http://github.com/Marak/asciimo/tree/master/fonts/.

You are very right in your comment. I have ascii coding laying around right now in JavaScript that can take any image and convert it into ascii, but making it work server-side is going to be hard.

If you think you can help with any of this drop me a message on the github.

i created a simple and stupid project to sort repos through brute force instead of using the github.com website.

you can clone that project listed and sort your repos.

Re:HTML5 localStorage for JavascriptMVC on Friday May 21, 2010 @05:47PM (#1369010)
I can't seem to find anything about a databinding engine in Javascript MVC.

Is there one? Does it have any MVVM support?

also, it should be noted that online demo creates a contact card that uses every single API call. normally you wouldn't generate a UK address + a US zipcode in one contact

I'd like to see better test data for sure. It's pretty easy to add more custom definitions in the definitons.js file.

If you are generating large sets of data you are better off calling the script from node. Also, if you are using the browser demo it's gonna try to append all that info to the DOM.....

I put this together in less then two days, there is a vast amount of room for improvement in this library. I'd be happy to see a web workers fork and streaming async version in node.
