#Coltan

Coltan is a collection of useful elements for building applications with the Appcelerator Titanium Mobile framework, including:

• Modifications for Backbone.js that alter the View prototype to work with Titanium UI elements
• Titanium-specific mixins for Underscore.js
• An HTTP API client class
• A Google Maps API client (for better reverse geo-coding, specifically)
• A WebMapView, for providing access to the full features of the Google Maps JavaScript API (particularly useful as an alternative for dealing with the native maps on Android)
• Some useful UI elements
• HUD-style activity indicator for iOS and small window messages (lifted from the KitchenSink demo app)
• A few custom buttons
• A value inspector (adapted from Node.js's util module)

Documentation, tests, and demo application to come.
