# Millennium Development Goals - News

I started this [heroku][heroku] app as a entry for the [Apps for Development][appsfordevelopment] organized by the [The World Bank][worldbank].

I ended up writing [YQL datatables for the WorldBank Data API][yql_worldbank] to make communication with that API easier.

To make this application a technology experiment for myself I used [YUI][yui] in order to run this app completely on the client. Therefore the server implementation of this app is just this and the rest runs in the browser:

    get '/' do

      erb :index

    end

This app is now offline because the old Y! BOSS API became unavailable but here a [screenshot](https://github.com/spier/mdg_news/raw/master/mdgnews_screenshot.png) of how the app roughly looked like.
