## Screenshots
## Demo
Visit [https://prahladyeri.github.io/VisualAlchemist](https://prahladyeri.github.io/VisualAlchemist) to see a live demo of how this app works.
## Installation
Visual Alchemist is a pure html app, so you can simply download the [source](https://github.com/prahladyeri/VisualAlchemist/archive/master.zip) and host it (with `index.html` as default).
## Documentation
Visual Alchemist is under active development, so there is no extensive documentation. However, a brief guide accompanies the app which should help most power users. If you don't understand anything, the best places to visit are the [issue tracker](https://github.com/prahladyeri/VisualAlchemist/issues) and the [VA subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/VisualAlchemist).
## Contribution
I'm presently looking for people who can contribute to Visual Alchemist. Mainly in the areas of:
1. Testing: Extensive alpha/beta testing, so our `v1.1` can be a big hit.
2. Code review: There is no such thing as bug-free code and more the number of eyeballs, the better it is.
3. Logo Design: Though a new logo is not immediately necessary, it is still a nice to have, though.
4. Documentation: Docs are very critical at this early of the project, and we don't have any apart from the basic guide accompnied by the app itself.

## Stack
`Visual Alchemist` is entirely composed of Open source stack:
- [jQuery](http://www.jquery.com) - The most popular JavaScript library in vogue. A must-know for any web-developer.
- [Twitter Bootstrap](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap) - A popular `CSS/JavaScript` framework by Twitter Inc., again an "off-the-shelf" reusable component for backend & front-end developers alike.
- [jsPlumb](https://jsplumbtoolkit.com/) - Useful JavaScript library for plugging-in "drag-drop" elements in your web-page.
