february 2018

• almost no code was shared between App and ft.com
• v different tech stacks between App and even between different apps in ft.com
  • preact, fruitmachine, handlebars, react...
• origami exists and can do styling but not templates
• templates & component logic is the largest surface area for sharing code

the idea

• use JSX but without a runtime

• glue library to unify different runtimes

  @financial-times/x-engine

• x-dash consumers can configure x-engine to inject the runtime they want into components

• x-interaction to lock down interactive components and (hopefully) make sure components can't do silly side-effectful stuff that won't work in the app

development experience

• storybook for 10000 foot view of components, use cases & data

now (october 2018)
