compediton Choosing the Right JavaScript Framework

I'd recommend looking at the docs on Flux, it explains it all better than I could.

compediton Show HN: Duo – a next-generation package manager for the front end

You can require dependencies and assets from the file system or straight from GitHub:

Oh my. You've essentially killed Bower and NPM in one swoop then haven't you?

An exciting time to be a web developer to say the least, this looks simply amazing.

There's no standards, but at this point I'd say Flux + React-router are quickly becoming it. react-router is made in the spirit of Ember's which is pretty well liked.

Maybe it's the active development part of it? Things are changing fast and it's still not even at 0.1.0.

From the docs:

Although potentially exciting, this is still really a WIP, use at your own risk.

compediton Introducing Rec Room

I’ve been working on extracting something out of the way I’ve been creating web apps at Mozilla that you can use to write your next web app.

I didn't know Ember was already being used at Mozilla, that's pretty neat! It seems to be popping up everywhere these days

compediton Are JS Mobile Apps Worth It?

Definitely not. Most of the time when I encounter an obvious webpage disguised as a native application, I feel deceived and underwhelmed.

Maybe a little over the top, but honestly it's true. Build a fast, responsive mobile site and be honest about what you're producing. If you want the web and its technologies to win, build and present with the web.

If you've ever used Ember's router and liked it, I'd suggest the react-nested-router[0]. So easy to use
