Hey, I am the creator of the UI library. Happy to give answers on any questions :)

Some time ago I would have liked this a lot and started using it right away. It seems to bring at the same time JS freedom and componentizationability (nice word), like, for example, http://aurajs.com/.

But since people invented React and virtual-dom I don't want to use these anymore.

Seems like I've been too late to help you out, then :)

It turned out that writing all the docs was at least as much work as writing the library itself... I've been doing this all on my own in the recent two years.

The text goes right off the screen on my phone. http://picpaste.com/pics/Screenshot_2015-07-17-23-30-27-nIBS...

Thanks for the info! I'll try and fix the CSS for the docs page.

ok forgive me for asking a obvious question. (btw, awesome work, especially to read that you've been doing this all on your on for 2 years!!).

How does this compare to ReactJS? Or what is your comparison between this and something like ReactJS?

I've never worked with reactJS, so I am not able to do any comparsion between it any my library.

My library is a supporting tool for the BackboneJS framework that helps you creating and working with the UI of your application. I've just written a short getting started guide that might help you understanding how it works: http://docs.modojs.com/en/article/getting-started

Nice work!
