Brace.io project

Brace.io is a really cool way of hosting websites by storing everything in Dropbox folders. The contents of the shared Dropbox folder are uploaded to your selected domain and whenever you make changes to these, your website is updated automatically. When I uploaded one of my projects in mariosk.brace.io I was surprised to see how fast the modifications were applied.The scope of my project was about finding alternative ways of visualising twitter data based on keywords representing positive and negative feelings. Although some functionalities are not supported as an external db is required, you will be able to test the core part of it.

Hope you like it.

Cheers.

Update:
Unfortunately, brace.io has been shut down since January 26th 2015.
