#2The gem from the article:
"The secret to building large apps is NEVER build large apps. Break up your applications into small pieces. Then, assemble those testable, bite-sized pieces into your big application."
This is something I have to constantly remind myself. When you have big application to create with tons of things to do you need to have sort of a double think kind of way of going about it. Focusing on the details of each part, all while keeping in mind how that part will fit into the whole at the end.

I did a test sometime ago and I found JavaScript MVC a bit heavy. I prefer break my JS application in small modules and do their communication via message passing (custom events), like this: http://blog.rebeccamurphey.com/code-org-take-2-structuring-j...

Why did you find JavaScriptMVC a bit heavy? The Srchr app was 37.8 KB (Gzipped and Compressed). Which is pretty good considering it packages jQuery (24KB) and all of the MVC parts. So JMVC, plus the app only was 13KB.
Further, if you read the article, that is exactly what is happening. It's producing custom search events.
Please re-evaluate JMVC, it's really a bunch of low-level libs that provide just a little more power to jQuery.
