FFOS app template

Firefox OS open web app template with localisation using middleman.

About tools

• MiddleMan is used for preprocessing:
  • Slim to Html
  • SCSS to CSS
  • CoffeeScript to JavaScript
  • Concatenate and minify everything

You may remove slim/scss/coffee from filenames if you don't want to use them.

Note

• You will need ruby and bundler: gem install bundler
• I advise to swap CACHE and NETWORK in manifest.appcache while developping.
• Do not forget to unswap them before building and deploying your app.

How to build and deploy your app'
