project-evergreen

A frontend repository designed for lean, performant, and sustainable web applications. Inspired by the Poylmer project.

Overview

The mission of Project Evergreen is to provide future-forward, standards complient resources for building dynamic, performant, and evergreen web applications that are designed to be easy to understand and intuitive to use by both users and developers.

This repo stands as a general issue / feature tracker.

State of the Web

With the current state of the web platform, we can now look to the web to give us a lot of the tooling and features we have often looked to libraries and frameworks to help us with. The web is moving towards a persistently progressive app development environment that supports shared values like:

• Powerful standard language features for both JavaScript and CSS
• Long-term, backwards compatibility support from the web platform itself
• Favoring the use of polyfills over frameworks, best practices, and modern UI patterns
• Positive developer experiences to support rapid development

Documentation

Please see our wiki for information about usage, examples, documentation, and more.

Visit our website for background information on the project's motivations and follow us on Twitter to get the latest updates from the team. The source code is written in Evergreen JS / CSS and so provides a nice introductory example of the project's goals.

Roadmap

In general our first couple goals are to:

1. Build the website with "evergreen" JavaScript / CSS
2. Create a TodoMVC example
3. Build up documentation, examples, and use cases
