• Integration with external services (stripe, github)

I have chosen to start building the dashboard with javascript, well it’s really coffeescript but i digress. I’ve run into a small issue with backbone.js, the issue being that when i dynamically create an instance of a class it does not seem to run the event delegation, I am not sure if this is an issue with dynamically creating the instance but from what i’ve googled it should not be.

I tend to be having some problems with backbone because of the way I am doing it, but i think that this may be normal. I may look at just using Backbone.Models so that i can fetch the json from the server in a simple manner and not have to deal with getting and handling the request, Even still I am questioning whether or not I even need to use backbone, while it seems nice it may be something that is just useful and not essential.
