Holla! - Rich JavaScript Application

README

        

#Intro

Holla is a group chat app. The UI is built in a RIA fashion - i.e. is totally asynchronous and super fast. I've open sourced it for a book I'm writing on building Rich Internet Applications with JavaScript.

A WebKit based browser (Safari/Chrome) is required due to specific CSS optimizations.

#Live Demo

* [Spine](http://github.com/maccman/spine) JS frontend
* Less
* Sprockets
* Juggernaut 2
* Async uploads with progress
