Frameworks will be added throughout the releases of the desktop. Version 1 will only have desktop app support. We will later add in support for custom backends, and a web frontend.

Web Frontend

• Used to publish information to the world (example: blogs, photo albums, podcasts, etc.)
• Not required for an app
• An HTML template system w/ tags
• Uses database API/user filesystem as data sources
• Can write back to database API/filesystem using postdata (example usage: comments, ratings, tags, etc.)
• Presented to the visitor as a user page, each app's frontend has a menu item, app frontends can be configured/hidden and default page can be set from the user's control panel
• Should have "mobile" pages. Where users from a cell phone or low-level Internet can still interact with the desktop program.

Backend

• Not required for an app
• Backends written in PHP and Python
• Used in specialty apps where a certain PHP/Python module would be needed

Desktop app

• written entirely in javascript
• various APIs to simplify work
  • Sound/Video through AFLAX
  • Backend API to access backends easily
  • Window/widget API with dijit for UI
  • Database/Filesystem API so using custom database tables and a backend is not necessary
• Full featured apps can be written without use of any custom backends
