Currently Working On: UI
0 Comments Published by Jussi Vaihia on Tuesday, July 03, 2007 at 11:58 PM.
After months of backend work I've shifted focus to the UI side of things. Basically it's all about communicating with the backend via a rich JavaScript interface. I'm glad to be working on JS again and will be using mootools for the new UI components.
Dojo v0.9 seems to have hit beta. The newer version sports a leaner core, which should improve page load times as less bits will require loading. Currently Dojo v0.4 adds (unpacked) hundreds of kilobytes to the initial pageload before the browser caches the script. The effect of the JS size hasn't been too noticeable. I'm looking forward for performance improvements and will test soon against v0.4 with high hopes.
The core JS components under work will provide ability for custom placement of feeds and a convenient input/output factory for working with feeds.
