Well, you are very brief, and I might misunderstand you, but:
IMHO that approach did not work out for the kind of Flash pages we built back then.
Not only is the loading animation a reminiscence of dark times,
but the overall approach has prove to be unmaintainable, in my experience.

Since we have the example GitHub:
To my understanding, their approach is the other way around, and seems to work a lot better.
They have static pages, and these static pages are _augmented_ with AJAX to give human users a better experience.

So, seems to me a lot different to what we did back then with Flash, and what looks like your current approach.

My current approach is very similar to what Twitter and some other modern web apps do.

The UI is built on the client-side, and pages (will be) built on the server for fallback (including bookmarkable urls and everything).�

Anyway, nice project, and it looks visually very polished :)

Thank you :)
