I saw this a few years back and was seriously impressed with the idea, not just as a JS library but the concept of interactive (or reactive as Brett calls them) documents. This is where HTML should be going as a form of media, armed with the question, "what can HTML do that other forms of media cannot?"
But a lot has changed since then - has this been superseded by client-side libraries with two-way data binding? e.g. angular or knockout. It would probably be quite trivial to duplicate the functionality in either of those libraries.
- RussianCow 13y agoIf what you're looking for is exactly what the example on the website shows (say, an interactive textbook), then I would just use Tangle because it's ready to go without much effort on your part. But if you wanted more flexibility, then of course you should use a move advanced library like Angular.
- jjsz 13y agoHow long would you say it'll take for it to be implemented in AngularJS?
- WickyNilliams 13y agoI don't think it would be a big ask. Dependency tracking/resolution and two-way data binding is baked in, so you'd only have to create some ui components (e.g. a slider) to allow for altering of the values and everything else would just work. Though if you wanted to do it properly you'd probably encapsulate the functionality in a directive of some sort.
