Chat App – Frontend Prototype

Published on 01/07/11

Some UI work I did for a stealth startup in early ‘11. Responsible for look & feel and frontend chat interactions. jQuery/UI communicating to a CakePHP/nodejs backend.

We developed this prototype with statecharts, a concept commonly found in event-driven programming and with which I first learned from Sproutcore. I found it really helped map out all the complex user interactions we had to deal with on the page.

See more screenshots from the set.

That's it. What Next?
