(heavily inspired from Googlespreadsheet as Backend )
When writing a simple web app or prototyping something, you may want a quick and simple way to store, edit and retrieve data.
Let's say you write a simple editor for blog entries or a diagram editor done with a graph lib like draw2d and don't want to build a backend to write, edit and store your data - but you want to conveniently consume this data as JSON - then the Github API helps you with that.
Used libs (the usual suspects):
- jQuery as swiss army knife
- Hogan.JS as template engine
- Bootstrap for the UI stuff
- Bootstrap Material as embellishment
- Draw2D as diagram lib
- OctokatJS Github API wrapper
all of the components above are installable via Bower.
Project build job is done via Grunt
At the end I'm absolute surprised how easy an WebApp can connect a repository via the GitHub API. Feel free to branch this repository.
