Neat project! However, in reality I'd probably just use Backbone if I wanted this kind of architecture because of the wealth of knowledge and support for it on the web.
Yeah, for sure. I mostly started this to see if I can get a Backbone-like MVC without the heavy dependencies of jQuery/underscore/lodash/etc. The DOM selection stuff is also done relying much more heavily on native calls, so it should be much faster than jQuery at most DOM manipulation stuff. It doesn't have much/any browser support hackery built in.
For most of my work, I'll also be sticking to Backbone or something more supported/fully-featured. But I do have tinsy projects here and there that are mobile-focused one-offs that work really well with something like this. I found myself recreating this thing over and over, so I figured I'd just standardize it for me and see if anyone else felt the same need. :)
What is the main advantage of this over Backbone?
