For a UI framework, show me a pretty demo with some example snippet code next to it and I will read on. Otherwise, I'm not motivated -- this is not the way you want people to read about your UI framework.

I agree with you, but when you go to the main page of the project [0] it looks cool and I might use it soon. [0] http://famous.org/

That's for the Famous Engine though, not the Famous Framework.

Link to the framework page [0]. I couldn't find any demos there or in other pages, though. I couldn't figure out how to run the examples [1] and there's no live links of em either. This is not specifically directed at Famous... Why don't you [framework creators] show off REAL freaking apps? Show me a reasonably sized application that handles sophisticated user interactions. How do you handle routing? Data fetching /…

Thank you... even in TFA, the handlers all seem to be synchronously bound... how do you tie these into async communication channels?

It really bugs me in this day and age, that frameworks are build without async client-server being a first-class behavior at least by example.

While I really appreciate the various demos for say TodoMVC, which allow some framework comparison.... what I would love to see (from TodoMVC or similar) would be an abstracted interface that is expressly async (even if only using setTimeout) via callbacks or promises for the data access. It's part of the story that is very important. Also, a very simple router... perhaps requiring a hello/login/register screen (user:user) and the todo screen.

I know TodoMVC was supposed to be just trivial enough to show something between the various frameworks... that said, I think we really need just a hair more.

I hear from Famous as UI System, but what is (in simple words) Framework - Engine - The Machine - The User... the blog post is really confusing.

Got it after watch the Website:

"The Famous Framework is a new JavaScript framework for creating reusable, composable, and interchangeable UI widgets and applications. It balances declarative with imperative and functional with stateful, and it's built on top of the Famous Engine."

Stackoverflow has lots of famous snippets.

Not a great example: a) US-only b) breaks the back button

It appears to be a web-based GUI toolkit. Something to replace JQuery-UI or Polymer, both of which are minimal.

The web needs something like Apple's Cocoa or Cocoa touch - a very rich GUI toolkit. It looks like this takes some inspiration from that, as some of the names are same. I don't know if it has an solver-based auto layout engine, though.

Anyways, I've been wanting something like this for a while now, as no company has really stepped up to the plate with a real GUI toolkit.
