I love these specialty flow apps being built on the WordPress.com JSON REST API. An API is in the works for core WordPress. I’ve been cajoling people to build a “Hello Gallery” [1] webapp on both APIs that multi-select uploads straight into a gallery post with an optional title. That’s it. Anyone?
1: Like Hello Dolly, this is not just a WP webapp, it symbolizes the hope and enthusiasm of an entire generation . đ
Since Automattic is a distributed company and a lot of us work from home, we hold meetups to get face-to-face interaction. The whole company meets up once a year and individual teams get together more often. One component of those meetups is a âmeetup projectâ that we all work on together.
The team I lead â âTeam I/O*â â just finished a lovely week in Reykjavik, Iceland. Our team is responsible for partnerships and our APIs.
We spent the first day releasing better JavaScript support for our APIs. After that we decided to make an example app, mainly focusing on the new CORS support and implicit OAuth system.
We decided to build a media manager purely in the browser. We picked a codename and Sulfur was born.
Update: Check out the live demo!
Sulfur is an app built using Backbone, Underscore.js, Plupload, jQuery, MomentJS
