I am not familiar with clientside JavaScript. Could anyone explain what famo.us is doing and whether it has merit? Their demo looked less impressive than WebGL ones.


Something like direct CSS3 transforms combined with their own UI library? I think they are going to get steamrolled by WebGL personally and also by native apps, or probably more accurately they have already been steamrolled by these two technologies.


you might be correct. It is a h4ck for sure. A really good one and one that may have found its way into standards.

Mainly hyping their vaporware product, as far as I can tell. Ok, they've made a 3D-ish periodic table with questionable UX? Great, anything actually useful?
