Directory — A Contacts App
July 30, 2012
While looking for a replacement for Adobe AIR, Directory was one of my first experiments with AppJS, one of the first available platforms merging Webkit and Node.js into an app development platform.
AppJS is still available for download, but it is no longer maintained. If starting your own project, try Electron or NW.js instead.
The app was meant to be a simple contacts widget, replacing PDF contact lists. The views were modeled after a mobile contacts application with two main views for everyday use — a scrolling list of contacts and a contact detail view. Thanks to AngularJS, the contact list could be filtered live by any of the contact’s properties.
