A Javascript web application framework built of on top of Backbone

Robo

Robo is a comprehensive Javascript framework for large-scale client applications.

• Large-scale Javascript apps are hard. Javascript's best and worst feature is its ability to effectively get away with anything you want. Consistent and scalable practices are essential to write kickass modern apps.

• Boilerplate is obnoxious and creates friction during development. Unnecessary repetition is annoying, wastes time, and makes it difficult to maintain a high development velocity when changes occur.

• A great framework let's you progressively use its features. Progressive enhancement is a great philosophy for UI design; a framework should function the same way.
