It seems the development tool that builds and obfuscates the application is not available, which makes it a dubious classification of open source.

i use the engine for some commercial work at the moment, i might open-source it eventually as well (if there is enough interest in it). but at the moment it's just a bunch of make-shift scripts thrown together which are not really in a publisheable shape

That's reasonable, of course, but it makes the title of this story rather inaccurate.

Even so, kudos -- your blog is lightning fast and a pleasure to use.

I did try it on my low-end Android phone w/Chrome, and it's plenty fast, and the menu works well, but the header and text overflow the view port.

thanks! i don't have a small android, but i'll see if i can fix it with some google chrome emulator on desktop

My apologies -- I updated Chrome and it works fine. That or you fixed something. Either way, nice job.

no problem. i didn't touch anything yet. but i did optimize it for iphone5 at some point, so that might be it.

but, thank you for letting me know about it either way! :)

But I can't modify the engine...
