If it's using node.js (or other JavaScript-based) server-side framework, it could be very useful as a live 'gist' or pastebin. Show/Review the code and see it in operation all in one place. Collections of lots of little scripts.
I'm also thinking of it as a community-based implementation of something like Yahoo YQL, so mashing together several useful datasources and using JavaScript as the glue.
- korenyushkin 17y agoIt doesn't use node.js because node.js is asynchronous and the main goal of Akshell is simplicity. But it definitely can be used the way you pointed.
- Isofarro 17y agoI'd second the recommendation that you have a look at the commonjs stuff that olegp mentions above ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1262380 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1262380 ) and seeing if there's an opportunity there to be a prototype / working platform for such an endeavour. (Assuming that there's a good degree of fit between your platform ideas and commonjs)
- korenyushkin 17y agoThank you, I'll check it. Even if it doesn't fit into the basic Akshell library, nothing prevents from creating an alternative basic library.
