- Description: Hotspot is a rapid prototyping tool enabling users to create an interactive visual experience of website and web application designs which can then be shared and reviewed with clients. It was very difficult to create the interactive UI experience that we wanted with jQuery alone as code became difficult to maintain. We knew we needed a method of structuring the application js code better but we wanted to find a solution that worked well with jQuery. Then we discovered backbone! We decided to rewrite the application using backbone models and views to create a clean separation of concerns, routers were used for navigation and the server exposed a simple REST based API making everything very clean, beautiful and easy to maintain.
