I forgot to make that clear in the wiki, so I'll explain here. Tres (three, in English, aptly named after 37Signal's Cinco, which would mean "five") is a framework for developing JavaScript apps for phones and tablets. It works on top of Backbone.js, but in a nutshell, you'll write a lot less code to get stuff done.
It'll feature a bunch of classes, most of which is stuff I've been using for the last year or so, that make it easy for you to, say generate screens, create data-bound lists, transitions, swipes, infinite scrolling, but all focused on the features as well as limitations of mobile devices. So yes, you'll still be writing code for it, but I wouldn't have it any other way. It's all CoffeeScript/Compass/Sass. After I saw Addy's Yeoman (http://yeoman.io/), I got inspired to turn this into something more like a development suite with packaging capabilities, so I'm working on that right now. The repo can be found here -> https://github.com/juliocesar/tres. Thanks!
