# Shannon
A JavaScript Library. Provides communication flow for your program systems.
Inspired by ["A Mathematical Theory of Communication"][1].
## Why?
Data management layer and view layer can be rewritten with new library, but communication flow will be the same.
## Ideas
* Functional infrastructure
* Unidirectional data flow
* Declarative style
## Questions
* What I'm trying to build?
* What types of web pages will be supported by Shannon? (content pages, statefull apps)
* How many instances can app has to stay simple? (2, 3)
* How can we describe a protocol in communication system between app and user?
* What about 3rd party libs for rendering and data persistance?
* How can we manage a complex state of systems?
* Is it possible to use only attrs for dynamic components?
* Is it possible to abstract store instance to server implementation?
* We need some way to distinguish type of communication between components (react or interact).
* Can we reuse whole app screen as a component?
* We should have [explicit][6] state management
* State management based on client's events is simply [reducing initial state](https://github.com/staltz/mvi-example/blob/master/src/models/items.js)
