The whole rewrite took approximately 10 weeks. Personally, I feel the quality of the new code is very good, but I may be biased ;-)
In all seriousness though, the separation of views keeps things very contained and simple. If you can get everything your app needs in the back-end to be accessible via an HTTP API (or a bridge.js API), it helps keep the logic contained in the views very simple and straightforward. Also, being able to broadcast events to all views via bridge.js made it incredibly easy to keep the UI in sync with the back-end. In the old code, there was a fair amount of complexity involved in keeping the Player view synced up with the remote control interface (lock screen, notification panel). These integrations were previously very tightly intertwined, whereas now each view simply listens for only the events they need to be concerned with. -Justin > On Sep 28, 2015, at 2:30 PM, David Rajchenbach-Teller <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Out of personal curiosity, how long did the rewrite take?
