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.
