Comment on Remix HN: Experimenting with the Hacker News user interfaceparent

Comments

Dojo is a great toolkit that could use more evangelism. Showing separate sites like this necessitates some kind of frames, I thought this was a pretty good use of them.

Very impressed by Dojo. It's amazing how you can do almost everything declaratively -- via markup. That makes it easy to put together simple UIs like this one.

Yea, I used to be puritan about it and tried to do everything with Dijit imperatively through JavaScript, but it's so much easier most of the time to do it in markup. It's even entirely HTML compliant now that it uses the new custom "data" tag attributes in HTML5.
