+# UI Base Framework
+
+Notes from working with Backbone, Bootstrap, and other friends.
+
+
+## Bootstrap Enhancements
+
+### CSS Classes
+- Apple-style tokens/tags
+- Table styles for "active", "error", etc
+- Table highlights (like stickies in a book)
+- Container Shadow Lines (horizontal & vertical)
+- Lion-style scrollbars
+
+
+### Components
+- Better Isotope integration
+- Tear-away / Pop-out containers
+- Facebook-style Thing Selector, with filtering, a drag-n-drop hopper, etc
+- On-hover Components (like changing to a button, expanding, etc); also, +HoverIntent
+
+
+## Backbone Base
+
+- Nested Models are a huge painpoint
+- A more coherent "loading" event model is needed
+- How can we unify a view's root DOM element with the view?
+    - Free event bubbling between views
+    - Eliminate the "I heard an event, what view handles it?" dance
+    - Reduces need for some boilerplate views
+    - Data properties to create "anonymous inner views":
+        - `<div data-view="ViewClass" data-view-extends="SuperViewClass" data-model="ModelClass" />`
+        - ...then need some sort of IOC-style wiring to hand out objects
+    - Requires rich events with nested properties that can be used for filtering on subscribe
+- A View has many `ViewField`s, mapping to the model's attributes.
+    - Implicitly created for simple fields (text, form elements)
+    - Handles data-binding:
+        - Serialization for presentation formatting
+        - Deserialization back into typed value
+        - Fires element-specific `change` events
+    - Subclasses for:
+        - Rich widgets (datepicker, colorpicker, etc)
+        - Dependent and derived fields
+        - Or declarative config and event binding
+- `CollectionView`, when the view holds a `Backbone.Collection`, not a `Backbone.Model`
+    - Comes with CRUD for .add(model)/remove(model), creating the needed subview, attaching it, etc
+    - Subclasses with specialized support for `ListView`, `DictView`
+    - Mixins for further subclasses for:
+        - `TableView` (and all manner of stupid subclasses)
+        - `Form{List,Dict}View`
+        - `TabPane{List,Dict}View`
+- All Views should have a `StateMachine` (also supporting the EventEmitter API) to ease coordinating event flows
+    - Significantly simplifies "loading" and "waiting" states
+    - Trivial to "disable" elements
+    - Easy modal UIs
+

 ### UI Notes from Diederik (Future)
 
 - Relationships between datasets which can help inform rich UI responses (click on "Europe" and have it expand to the countries)
-- Legend by Default
-- value parsers for large numbers with comma, KMB.00
 - easily create new graphs side-by-side
 - clear current graph
