Creating Beauty with UglifyJS

For the past five years, we have been using a Notes-client base tool called iPhora Application Designer, that we created to build our iPhora applications written for our Dojo-based iPhora-MVC platform. This tool is written entirely in LotusScript and @Formula language. With this tool we compile the  XML/JS view code into pure JavaScript onto a targeted application server all without opening Domino Designer.  Rarely do we venture into using Domino Designer. We only use Domino Designer to enhance our tool or fix a bug. Since this tool is Notes-client based, a key advantage of this tool is the ability to replicate every day our code to a backup server and when we are at home we can replicate to our computer at home. Currently, our JavaScript MVC platform has over a 1,000,000 lines of Dojo/Javascript code and it grows every day as we add new widgets and modules. Majority of the code is automatically generated by our iPhora Application Designer. Can not imagine generating the c...

Like many customers and IBM partners, we built many many Notes applications internally and for clients. Some of these applications are still running on many of our clients and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. They do not have the coolest interfaces since those capabilities weren't around even from other vendors at the time they were developed. They are clunky looking, but they are secure which is very important since the beginning of Notes and more so these days.  IBM announced yesterday that they are extending support...
