Thank you for taking the time to share this so carefully. I think many people getting started in developing UI heavy applications fail to understand that it is all about solving many orthogonal problems, and to do each one carefully is what the job is all about.

People that lack this expectation replace it with the naive thought that there is a single library out there that can do it all for them, and they spend countless time finding it as opposed to breaking up a problem into smaller pieces and attacking each one.

You've consolidated many interesting techniques here, and it's a valuable resource not only in philosophy, but in general hackery.

Are you planning to flesh out the app more, say to allow users to login, comment, upvote?



Yeap, those will take some time since I'll have to store the username and password in the app. Still not sure how I should implement it.
