There are many frameworks for writing unhosted and "partially hosted" web apps.
I like to write javascript straight on the DOM, without css. But that's because
my apps are for my own use, so I don't need any fancy layout or templating or i18n
etcetera. I often just display the raw JSON and graph the connection statistics
right in the interface, which I can then cut-and-paste into other code snippets
again, "close to the metal" as they say.
But I heard other people use emberjs (apparently not entirely free of headaches yet)
and backbone (which apparently is only a basis for a framework, not a whole framework.
It's a good question though, who is using a framework (and if so, which one) to write
their unhosted web apps?
Ciao,
