The title is misleading. It's not 100% client-side if it queries facebook's servers. And it will only scale as well as S3 and facebook allow. That's a far cry from infinite.

Isn't that splitting hairs, Sir? The developer didn't code anything on the backend. I think it's pretty clear what he means.

Also, any reasonable human being understands that there's only a finite number of hard drives in the world. S3 is 'infinite' for all practical purposes, IMHO.

YouTube comments are inane. TechCrunch has shown that photo-attached Facebook comments significantly increase the quality of comments. TVDinnr shows YouTube videos with Facebook comments for more interesting discussions. There are a few known issues that I have to finish, listed at the bottom. Nevertheless, it is functional and fun to use. I created this as an experiment in Facebook comments and one-page JS webapps.…

Very nice. Have you checked out angular.js? It has routing, templates, controllers and jsony stuff. Models are a little more complicated.

No, I didn't see that. Thanks. I did some quick google searches and also scoured a Wikipedia article comparing frameworks.

Try backbone.js, Sproutcore, or Cappuccino for client-side frameworks.

Try cappuccino.org for your front end JavaScript mvc needs.

Thanks, I saw that, it looks like it reimplements Cocoa, for desktop-like interfaces. Is it more flexible, useful for custom and more web-like ui's too?

>We need a full client-side JS app framework, with an URL Router, Templates, Controllers, Models, and plugins. It should be able to wrap json api interfaces easily, and it should handle all the page changes that need to happen when it's all just js changes.

Vaadin is not a client-side framework; it's a server-side Java framework that takes care of client-side code as well. It's similar to Nitrogen for Erlang.
