Treehouse●JavaScript 10 Comments

Revealed in a comment by DHH on this blog post, 37signals is definitely going to open-source their new framework for single-page JavaScript apps. Very excited to see how this develops. Here’s DHH’s comment …

Hold on for our new Cinco framework. It’s basically Rails for single-page JS apps. We just used it to introduce Basecamp Mobile. A bunch of the supporting frameworks have already been released. The template language eco and the compiler stitch. We’ll be releasing the rest of the pieces in due time.

    Does anybody know where they’ve been released?

      According to comments on the post:

      Basecamp Mobile is written in CoffeeScript using our in-house Cinco mobile framework, which ties together Backbone.js, Zepto, the Eco templating language, and Stitch.

      We’ll be talking more about Cinco and open-sourcing it in the coming months.

    Sad thing how a new framework gets release right AFTER I launch a project that would’ve made great use of said framework.

    Can’t wait to play with it, thouh!
