    broken digits (Sep 5 2008) Explore Article

    Cappuccino’s FlickrDemo in 45 lines of jQuery When I first saw 280 North’s “280 Slides” application, I have to admit I was very impressed. They built a truly native-feeling (well, if you’re on a Mac) tool on the standard web platform. Not an easy feat, and clearly some big brains operating on the problem.
