This is somewhat sensationalistic journalism, typical of Techcrunch. There's nothing terribly groundbreaking in this BoltJS library. I don't think there's any way you can make a conclusion that this is what Facebook is going to use to compete with Apple. It's a typical MVC JavaScript boilerplate, there are about 10 other JavaScript projects similar this. And given my past experience with Facebook JavaScript API's, I have absolutely zero interest in using theirs.
- astrofinch 15y agoMore generally, I can't imagine why anyone would want to build on Facebook's mobile API instead of Apple's given how crappy Facebook's API has been historically. (And Zuck endorses this: "Move fast and break stuff.")
- marcomonteiro 15y agoAgreed. I don't see why this would be more appealing.
