#Github Issue Frontend This viewer of Github issues uses the Backbone.js framework to create an entirely client-side web app with paths and history. Though I'm usually a server side guy, it appealed to me to create a client-side web app that looks like a server side one.

rails/rails is the defualt repo, but others can also be used by entering them at the top of the app.

To run, simply run

python -m SimpleHTTPServer

when you're in the root directory (or start a web server any other way you like. A live demo will be available at
