Developers these days are spoiled with choice when it comes to selecting an MV* framework for structuring and organizing JavaScript web apps. Backbone, Spine, Ember.js (SproutCore 2.0), JavaScriptMVC… The list of new and stable solutions goes on and on, but just how do you decide on which to use in a sea of so many options?
To help solve this problem, TodoMVC was created – a project which offers the same Todo application implemented using MVC concepts in most of the popular JavaScript MV* frameworks of today. Solutions look and feel the same, have a common feature set, and make it easy for you to compare the syntax and structure of different frameworks, so you can select the one you feel the most comfortable with.

A modern browser is all that’s needed to access AjaXplorer : the interface is very similar to OS-native file explorers, and all users can find their way in it. Users can easily share files or folders over the Internet, preview and edit most common file formats directly online, without having to download/upload the files to/from their local computer.
AjaXplorer comes fully equiped with a complete users management system, securing the whole installation at once. It can also be interfaced with existing authentication mechanisms, to implement a “Single-Sign On” system and make users life easier.

TypedJS uses a function’s type signature to generate input parameters, and evaluates the function upon these inputs to form a test case. This test case fails if an exception occurs, or the output violates function constraints. While type signatures provide a limited form of program specification, TypedJSÂ adds a quick and rigorous sanity check to your deployment pipeline.
This is just a start. TypedJS will soon provide more complex forms of program specification, and analysis. It is licensed under MIT License.
