Trellis: A Component-Oriented Web Framework
summary
Claims a Ruby micro-framework with a DSL for component-based pages and event-driven navigation, implemented on Ruby 1.8.7 and runs on Rack; initial prototype is ~300 lines, demos include a hi-low game, hangman, a Flickr component (xmlrpc + Nokogiri + Builder) and a stateful counter, with persistent fields stored to cookies/session/memcache or DB. Deploys to Heroku, uses DataMapper for persistence, plans to sit atop Sinatra. Demos work but 1.9 compatibility and session/continuation plumbing remain work in progress.
