And Famo.us allows an app to do all of these things with the content itself.

So everything on a Famo.us page is searchable, indexable and live-swappable from API feeds.

This last is the key differentiator between Famo.us and the other web app frameworks.

Once the Famo.us team identified these inefficiencies they set out to create alternative components that could bypass them.

Famo.us wants to enable web apps to be the star of that show.

So far from movement on the screen being something that requires special programming, Famo.us looks at movement as the default.

So here is the big secret about Famo.us: like game developers they work specifically within the limitations of that time frame.

In the case of Famo.us, the innovation has been to bypass the webkit render engine by writing a new, higher-performance engine.
Consideration number two would be the advances in the rendering of 3D interfaces using JavaScript, as in the forthcoming Famo.us framework.

Compare the 2D demo above to the 3D demo (below) to see how much real-time interaction data a Famo.us app can handle.

Famo.us will let data itself to be visually and tactilely expressive.

All the better for the performance of all apps, HTML5 and native, but it seems like the team at Famo.us has a good head start.

Famo.us will give designers and developers the tools to do any crazy thing they dream up in smooth movement on any device with actual live content.

In a preliminary version of the demo, Famo.us physics engineer David Valdman showed me a representation of collections of balls with some basic physics attached to them.

The same design pattern in Famo.us could treat those side menus as a set of planes that could be manipulated in interesting ways and reduce the need for scrolling.

This is the insight that allowed Steven Newcomb (founder and CEO) and Mark Lu (co-founder and head of engineering) of Famo.us to crack the performance puzzle of web-based apps.

An example of how something like this could be happening right now on the web has been the rise of high-performance JavaScript frameworks like node.js and most notably Famo.us.
And unlike contemporary native apps and previous advances in immersive representations of digital content, Famo.us is giving developers all of this control over the actual content itself, over the DOM.

Newcomb hopes that these components will someday be a part of WebKit itself so that Famo.us and other frameworks can manipulate these functions directly in the browser without the workaround.

These contrasts between the dimensional and the flat, between the fast movement and the still, will be the elements of the new design patterns that will arise in response to the capabilities that Famo.us provides.

Newcomb plans to release the first working template for Famo.us (based on the 2D demo of the social app above) soon and follow up with templates for all of the major app archetypes in the app store.

In the rendering of screen representation there are things that can cause the data to reflow, events to be interrupted or memory to be reloaded at inopportune times, and these are the variables that Famo.us has managed to control.

Mozilla has yet to get developers very interested in developing for Firefox OS, but improvements in the performance of web apps overall (see my recent story on Famo.us for an example of how far this has come) may change that sentiment quickly.
