Re: [Dynapi-Dev] compressing files

[Kevin <ke...@ke...>]

Hi Jesse,

I think two compression methods can live well together.
Yours will serve a static compressed bundle with little
server load. It would be nice of this method could
remove the existing library system from the api. Then
the compressor would reuse the removed code logic (to
work out dependencies) as a front end so the developer
can decide what compressed bundle is needed to serve
hosted application types. Is this is a standalone
application requiring an interpreter not an applet.
