House.js Progress
It's been too long since the last update, but I've been coding away.
Though I haven't received much feedback, I'm doing my best to put the parts together to build a useful web platform that you'd want to choose when starting a new web or mobile app project.
It's 2012 and it shouldn't be very hard to quickly build a dynamic internet application.
There are a bunch of pay solutions, and I can elaborate elsewhere that they aren't suitable for me.
My goal in open sourcing the project is to offer my solution to the problem and to hopefully spark some interest from others working on the web.
I hate my infrequent updates, but I'm very close to a milestone where I can move my focus from the server to the applications. Of course this is the constant battle for full stack hackers, and the reason for this project.
The next two days are a sprint before Startup Weekend in Santa Monica. I hope to have it mostly strung together and duct taped by then!
If it's usable, I'm going to pitch: two days of javascript hacking on an open source web app. It might be a terrible business idea, but on the up side you'll design, build and deploy a useful application in two days transparently with open source.
The app could be anything really, but I have one in mind to pitch. It might be fitting that my music player was my first node app. Although it's usefulness has only been to myself, I put a lot of value in the radio because I spend so much time at my desk. Building it improved my life and programming skills and was a proof of concept and challenge for the platform. It's time for version 2.0 from scratch on the latest house.js. I'll elaborate as we get closer.
Wish me luck, cheer me on, or better yet, join me! If nothing else, at least tell me what you think of this madness, or if it makes no sense at all.
