Actually, Appleseed's framework abstracts out the user-facing code into a "foundation", which can be removed and replaced (and even inherited) without changing any of the underlying server-side logic.
So there's no reason I couldn't implement a radically different UI like this without changing any of the base code. Theoretically, you would even be able to switch between the UI's with a simple button.

- joe_the_user 16y agoHow does the foundation talk to the server? Do you have to use php?
- michaelchisari 16y agoIf you wanted to build a new foundation, you'd do it in client-side JavaScript. You communicate with the server through a REST API.
- joe_the_user 16y agoHave a link describing the REST API?
- michaelchisari 16y agoNot yet, actually, it's still in flux, and documentation is sparse to non-existant. The next few releases will be ironing out a lot of the implementation, and I'm going to prioritize a guide for how to get started with it.
