[OFFTOPIC] cloudwall, an OS on the browser

[Danielo Rodríguez]

Hello everyone,

Sorry for the off-topic, but I though this would be of the interest of many more here. CloudWall is an aplication, close to an OS, that runs entirely on the browser.

It uses jQuery and several plugins to build the UI and localstorage to persist changes. It allows you to sync between multiple devices using couch.

The very cool thing about it, is that it has an app-creator. You can create cloudwall apps from cloudwall. Those apps is just a collection of json objects, html files, and css sheets, and everything can be packed into a single HTML file. Does it sound familiar? Apps can run inside cloudwall or be exported to run as individual html files.

I think TW can benefit just by taking a look at it because the philosophy seems to be very similar. The app editor is a cool thing, and from my point of view is similar to my way of working with TW: a set of separate files that I know then are packed together by TW core.

Please, take a look: http://cloudwall.me/

Hi Danielo

Great way to be able to store data locally and syncronize to one or several couchDb hosts online from all your devices at once! Thank you for sharing it!

Hello again,

I have been investigating how apps are created, and everything consist in manifest objects. And the way apps are packed is very similar to what TW does: a javascript object.

For fast prototyping it's a cool thing.
