ember-multi

A multi-device Ember.js app, using nw.js and Apache Cordova to generate a web app, a mobile app, and a desktop app from a single codebase.

In my presentation at Mobile+Web Devcon, I used several git branches to advance through stages of building this app, step by step.

• step-0: Ember-cli set up
• step-1: Routes, with some debugging info in templates to prove that URLs work
• step-2: ember-data models, working adapters and serializers that hit the github API
• step-3: improve UI by setting up ember-cli-materialize
• step-4: apache cordova works
• step-5: nw.js works
• step-6: nw.js app has window constraints, and no address bar
