How it works(technical)

Frontend ↔ Bindings logic ↔ Bindings code ↔ Backend.

Frontend

The HTML, CSS and Javascript that form the Gui. It is good if the javascript just works if you put the id= in thee right places.(i.e. you dont need to write javascript to change the looks)

Bindings logic, Bindings

The bindings read from the backend, and turns it into something the Javascript can use.

The binding logic is like logic the frontend can use, but not specific to either the frontend or aquiring data from the backend.

Backend

In the end, this is what will use the PoC javascript bindings.

Initially, we intend to have a backend that uses some centralized service. Mainly so people have something to play with. After that we will go (stable version of)PoC testnet, possibly with a centralized server that talks to it.

But again in the end, you should run an Ethereum full or lightweight node one way or another, and a ethereum browser to go with it. Web wallets are bad.

Note: in the future expand this section to be more specific? (or document elsewhere)

Future frontends:

Programs are allowed to talk the Ethereum, as such, people can in principle write their own programs to talk to the backend.
