twoBirds is the oldest web component framework that exists.

A bit later I got a project description that read: "Migrate an EXCEL spreadsheet into a browser application". Needless to say, this spreadsheet was a behemoth of an insurance company travel expense program. The customer wanted this to be ported to a MySQL database to avoid manual data handling, with statistics as .pdf files. The frontend requirement wasnt a SPA, but I thought that was the better way.

Looking up the problem at hand, I found out that neither of the contemporary libraries and frameworks would support me: jQ, Prototype, mootools, DOJO - they all lacked an SPA application structure concept, they were merely DOM wrapper libs.
