tantek aaronpk - I got a bit distracted last night/this morning with figuring out a simple server runtime model / PHP shell / handler template for CASSIS
#
tantek for twid
#
tantek (the algorithmic twitter status URL shortener)
#
aaronpk ah yea, thats always the trick
#
tantek suffice it to say, yes, I've started to pursue the full fledged creation of web apps using CASSIS

#
aaronpk neat, that will be handy im sure
#
tantek moving as much common code etc. into cassis.js
#
tantek I've gotten the handler template down to:
#
tantek function main() {
#
tantek return("hello world");
#
tantek }
#
tantek :D
#
aaronpk haha
#
aaronpk awesome
#
tantek yes, it is *that* simple to create a web app with CASSIS now
#
tantek replace "hello world" with an HTML document as a string etc.
#
aaronpk so do you not need to know the tweet author's username to link to a tweet?
#
tantek Oh I've already written the code to figure it all out on the fly :)
#
tantek for both JS and non-JS clients
#
tantek ;)
#
tantek it's just taking me longer than a quick hack because I'm using this particular "web app" as an excuse to further develop CASSIS into more of a "just get started writing apps" solution
#
aaronpk ah yea, good chance to do it
#
tantek btw I created #cassis.js for further discussion (following the model of #node.js)
#
tantek yeah - twid is a really simple app - so it's a good "real world" minimal step up from "hello world"
#
aaronpk yea totally
