CiUI – An Alternative iPhone Interface to iUI

March 31st, 2008 by s

I’ve been getting back into working on iPhone stuff again recently, and I was encouraged to see CiUI by Vladimir Olexa. (I completely missed this demo at MashupCamp)

I’d used Joe Hewitt’s iUI for a previous iPhone webapp, and it works great, but I’m looking to try something new this time and CiUI looks great.

CiUI has a different approach to some things from iUi:

1. AJAX calls are performed after a page slides
2. DOM doesn’t get overloaded with “pages” as they load. Instead, two DIVs are constantly being reused
3. Page titles are set on the source page, not on the destination page
4. Only specified “a” tags are assumed a part of the UI

   Ciui can’t be good, as the site where it’s hosted can’t even keep itself up

   heh, that’s kind of funny. I guess CiUI has been abandoned since I wrote this. (15 months ago)
