Why it’s “Meshy”
Corkboard is written entirely in client-side JavaScript. As a new note is created, its title and name are written to a Mesh Feed's object as standard elements. Custom characteristics (size, coordinates, z-index, color) are defined as attributes using a Mesh-provided extension to define key value pairs inside a Feed item. Like all Mesh applications, no server-side code is required, as the app just writes data to the Mesh, which them takes care the transport and centralized storage of data.
