Web Design & archi. Tech blog » Blog Archive » Some love for JavaScript applications. During our last hack week, Aakanksha Sarda and I set out to build a library that helps JavaScript developers use the Dropbox API.
My main goal was to take “static” Web applications to the next level. However, the JavaScript library can be useful for any application that runs a significant part of its logic in the browser, as well as for node.js server-side code. If you prefer getting your hands dirty right away, go ahead and register for a Dropbox API key, set up an application in your Dropbox, borrow sample code, and read the library documentation. Motivation: static Web applications Thanks to recent improvements in browser support and VM performance, I often find myself writing small and medium applications completely in JavaScript, whenever I can get away with it.
My interest in static Web apps is greatly influenced by how easy they are to deploy. However, up until now, having to handle per-user data has been a different story.
