This was my hello world example app for the Locker Project built with Ember.js. It was fun playing with Ember.js, getting to know states, templates, models, controllers and how those work in Ember. I felt overall that Ember wasn’t that difficult to learn but, for something as simple as this app, overly complex.

What is does

QuotePhoto pulls random images, and overlays a random quote. Sometimes the result is humorous.

The Build

Sitting in the thinking chair on a sunny day.

Hacking away in Sublime

Final Product

The final(ish) product working with my locker.

I modified it to pull random images from imgur (instead of from my private locker) then hosted it on heroku so anyone could play with it:
