Ratchet

Prototype mobile apps with simple HTML, CSS and JS components.

Getting Started

• Clone the repo git clone [email protected]:maker/ratchet.git or just download the bundled CSS and JS
• Read the docs to learn about the components and how to get a prototype on your phone
• We will have example apps to check out very soon!

Future features

Ratchet is just getting started. Here are some of the immediate features we're thinking about:

• Shelf (exposable left hand navigation a la Path or Facebook)
• Gridviews
• Notifications
• Slide control
• More list views options
• Improved active states (especially for lists)
• Docking list dividers
• Touch library for richer touch events (swipes, long press, etc)
• Autocomplete
• Hiding title bar (hides with scroll)

Even these are just the short-term goals though. We eventually want to extend Ratchet beyond the prototying for iPhone and create HTML/CSS/JS components for iPad and Android devices. Our dream is that Ratchet becomes the best way to create mobile experiences with web standard languages.
