Challenge:
conjoon is a personal information manager which focused on implementing a feature rich email client right from the very first development cycles. The goal was to replicate desktop application behavior to make user interaction with the software as fluent as possible. This introduced several problems such as handling a large amount of data, when a user would store thousands of emails in a folder without taking care of managing and filtering these messages into different folders. Given current browser technologies, a grid with approximately 1000 records would slow even high configured desktop PSs down, leading to crashes and lagged responses from the browser.

Solution:
Ext.ux.Livegrid allowed the application to handle large amount of data managed by a MySQL database server – at several places within the UI – at once. It does not only respond in real time to specific events (flaggin email messages as read/unread/spam, removing emails, adding emails), it does also speed things up through rendering only this data which is relevant for the view, allowing the software to be used on even slower systems.
