Ask HN: What JavaScript library would you like to see that doesn't exist yet?
Or a library/framework that is in desperate need of a better alternative.
I am currently looking for ideas for my next open source project
- tantalor 15y agoHow about a library like RubyMotion[1] for writing native iOS apps in JavaScript/CoffeScript? You could use JSC[2] as your runtime. [1] http://www.rubymotion.com/ [2] http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/JavaScriptCore
- chc 15y agoThat's already a thing — it's called JSCocoa[1]. Works for both Mac and iPhone. Doesn't seem to have caught on much, though. [1]: https://github.com/parmanoir/jscocoa/ https://github.com/parmanoir/jscocoa/
- tantalor 15y agoExcellent! I see it dates back to 2008 and I'm glad to see it is still making progress. Perhaps more people consider using this, what with the recent revival of JavaScript front-ends (Backbone, Meteor, etc).
- LaaT 15y agoSomething that takes an URL and returns the tag that displays the media. Is this URL to a jpg file, spit a img tag. YouTube video? Iframe. Instagram link? img with the pictures URL.
- debacle 15y agoI don't know if HTML5 can do this yet, but I'd really like to see a JavaScript client-side RSS reader.
- iamds 15y agoA library that would allow you to share templates between the server and the client. The library would allow you to include a template file and render it on the client. It would allow you to also include the same file and render it on the server.
