So, no API yet. The neat thing about client-side apps is that they force you to craft a great API from the get-go, because you'll be using it extensively in your own application. DHH was talking earlier [1] about how client-side MVC isn't a great developer experience and consequently why they avoided it for Basecamp Next, and I sympathize with that decision, but I wonder how great of a developer experience it is to have to develop a server-side app with various AJAX-related endpoints and then having to go back and develop a full-fledged API... instead of doing just the latter.
