In How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the State MachineAsk HN: Do you use State Machines for UI dev?
I've been searching for new, "better" workflows for UI development for enterprise applications (web based, SaaS) and been stumbling upon state-machines more than once.
Smashing Magazine has a nice writeup [0] today and there are some interesting libs ([1], [2], [3], [4]) already in JS.
My question is, does it work for you? Is this a better solution?
