This requires the installation of some plugin to actually work. They made it sound like it was JS only.



Thanks, after reading the page I couldn't tell what this even was. Is it a library to do bittorrent in the browser, and if so what is Backbone a dependency for that? Using Backbone makes me think it's a UI, but there's nothing on the page to indicate that.


It looks like Backbone is used for the event model


That's confusing... it's Backbone's event model basically just an Event Emitter? Is there some special functionality that warrants bringing in all of Backbone vs. just using one of the millions Event Emitter libraries that are out there. You can even get just Backbone's models if that's what you want.


No. There isn't.

Source: I've ported most of the whole thing to pure angular.js. The code is riddled with UI elements directly being injected based on events, where it could have been a service API.
