A few words about the technical side of the project. The new version - it is not just a visual redesign of the old Chrome Web Store, it is also a modern approach to creating web applications using HTML and CSS novelties. We used a Javascript- library with open source. Google Closure. in conjunction with the corresponding. templating library. Google Closure adds support Javascript language data types, inheritance, and encapsulation of classes, making the Javascript in a full-fledged object- oriented language, and also offers a large number of tools for working with objects of HTML, that in general much easier to develop complex web applications.

We believe that the online store Chrome - a new way to find interesting Web applications, and we will try to make it as convenient, fast and beautiful.
