Looks great! Trying it out when I get home. Saw this and had to comment https://github.com/enyojs/mochi. I miss webos.

What Hacker News says
4 sourcesI think I prefer the old Mochi project (a refresh for webOS UI) he was undoubtedly involved in.

In LG launches open-source version of webOSFrom a practical perspective, it doesn't matter if the window manager is native to the web (and gecko's proprietary iframe solutions are not). Also important is that webOS allows native development (a problem that would go away if w3c would agree to standardize something like LLVM bytecode).
Applications in webOS were not limited to Enyo. You only needed to access the proprietary API appropriately which is the same as with phone gap or the FF API (which isn't an approved standard).
Enyo 2.4 works on IE8+, FF4+ (actually 3+, but not tested), Chrome 10+ (once again, works on earlier, but not tested), opera, Android browser, Safari 5+, etc
You can check out the Enyo project at enyojs.com (it's apache 2 licensed). It currently has both a mobile theme (onyx) and a LG TV theme (moonstone -- for LG smart TVs). The partially finished Mochi theme

(see the specs at https://github.com/enyojs/mochi/wiki/Mochi-Designs ) also has a lot of potential.
My personal issue with FF OS is that the UI sucks. With webOS being released under the Apache 2 license (which grants patent use), there was no reason to use a crappy design (except for "not invented here" syndrome). Even today, the core UI and features of webOS are better than iOS, WP, and Android (despite Matias Duarte's best effort to transform Android into webOS).
Only webOS is easy to use on a phone, but still feels natural on a tablet with almost no changes (and Enyo enables this app transition from the ground up which is why developers chose to use it instead of something else). In fact, webOS could even scale up to full-sized desktops with some modifications (as 10GUI shows).
Finally, webOS has a very large community for an OS that was discontinued a couple of years ago. The Preware community continues to release updates and new apps still make the occasional appearance.
