LimeBits is a Web app that let users create powerful Website in an easy manner. Currently, it is still in Alpha, as this mean LimeBits will probably improve its functional specifications in favor of building a real screen to their end users. For users who sign-up to the site, they’re given a free 1GB space for data and Webpages. Since the purpose of LimeBits is to share the site, you’re allowed to mix a lot of cool features onto your site and share it to the online community of LimeBits.

The general thinking of LimeBits is that an user can get the whole copy of others’ sites since the site owners allowed to share their sites. While this sound like an illusion of agreement, but from the LimeBits demo, The Scrapbook, you can get a scoop of its concept. As stated in their blog, LimeBits mentioned, “LimeBits makes it possible for you to share your whole site - static pages and dynamic page-generating programs. If you share your site on LimeBits, I can get my own fully-functioning copy of your entire site, including dynamics.”

In technological setting, LimeBits aimed to be a new framework for Website creation, whether it is designed for novice beginners or Web developers. It makes use of JavaScript to run all the interactive yet dynamic programs, while take advantage of the WebDAV server for storage and retrieval. And thus, by using LimeBits, Website authors can drop a dynamic wiki, forum, database, office suite, or any other app into their Webpages, simply via static links, ultimately without the need for traditional server applications. The beauty is that they simply need to drop a Javascript code module into an HTML page via SCRIPT tags, and there is no requirement of programming language mastery skill.
