Genius!

gadr90on Riot.js – A 1kb client-side MVP framework

1kb, plus jQuery's 50. This must be a joke...

A framework guides you into a determined way of doing things. It is a known tradeoff: 90% of what you need to do is simpler, 10% may be a little harder. I have now built two medium-large web apps over the last months with Angular and while, naturally, it's not without problems, I have found that most of my difficulties were due to me doing things in a non-Angular way.

I also find it is going in a very good direction with the recent changes in 1.2.0. They listened to a lot of feedback from the community.

I'm starting a project right now and Deployd seems like the only open-source Parse alternative. However, the fact that the last commit is from a month ago makes me uncomfortable. Anyone knows what's happening?

Seriously now, this is pratically open source Parse!
