Cinder Plate

Overview

Cinder Plate is an innovative skeleton designed specifically for Ember.js applications, utilizing Brunch as its build tool. It stands out by employing CoffeeScript and SASS to create a modern development environment that separates concerns in a way that enhances code organization and maintainability. Unlike conventional approaches that embed Handlebars templates in the index.html, Cinder Plate stores them in separate files and pre-compiles them, making for a cleaner separation of application logic and views.

Whether you are looking to quickly start a new Ember.js application or seeking an efficient way to prepare your application for production, Cinder Plate simplifies the process. Its capability to automatically generate a production build with minified JavaScript and CSS files ensures that your app is optimized for performance right out of the box.

Features
