Hey Morten and JS people,

Since we will be building in AngularJS we should be using https://github.com/angular/dgeni  it is pretty much an extension for JSDoc. I created a repository with the packages as well. Which is available through NPM. (Which might be out of sync with the most current version of dgeni atm)

What something like that will result into looks like http://markionium.github.io/d2-docs/ (The top menu should work fine but the navigation is a bit wonky as Github pages does not support AngularJS html5mode as that needs server support (Which might also be a thing we have to look at if that would be important for our apps.)

Anyways as for D2 (https://github.com/Markionium/d2). What it is right now is pretty much just a collection of services and directive that i was creating while working on apps. A lot of it will need cleaning up and refactoring.

For example the thing we mentioned earlier about the bootstrapping. (I will look at that sometime next week hopefully).

Kind regards,

Mark Polak
