37signals Working on New Framework for HTML5 Mobile Apps

Ryan Carson, regarding an interview with 37signals’s Ryan Singer:

There is nothing like Rails for mobile web app development, so 37signals are creating a web app MVC framework specifically designed for mobile phone web apps. The code will be comprised of local JavaScript, with the network just being used for data. The apps will work offline, when live data transfer isn’t required.

It’s built in CoffeeScript and Eco, a new templating language created by 37signals.

I don’t know. It’s not like their last app framework went anywhere.
