Black Shoes

Shoes for the browser, in CoffeeScript, without cream.

Currently, this is strictly for fiddling around.

Getting Started

Try the online demo.

Hacking

You will need Node, npm, and CoffeeScript installed. On OS X, try

$ brew install node
$ npm install -g coffee-script

Then, clone this repository, build the javascript, and run the demo locally.

$ cake build
$ open index.html

Goals

This is an experimental project. The goal is to see how closely we can reproduce Shoes in a browser environment. There are lots of benefits to targeting the browser, in terms of portability and availability. It's worth a shot.

The current code does not aim to allow programming in Ruby, like regular Shoes. Instead, it uses CoffeeScript, which might be close enough. Time will tell. Got a Ruby implementation that runs in the browser? Let's try it out!
