Chaos is a boilerplate used to generate HTML5 interactive standalone web applications.

Chaos is based on the 'carngorhm' design pattern used to create flash / flex style web applications. If in another life you were a Flex / Flash developer and want a familiar developing landscape or you are looking for portable web application, you are in the right place.
