Post Quecast
Post Quecast - Post Message based Queued Broadcast.
It is callback powered lib for creating semi-distributed communication system between iframes and window instances. The distinct feature of the lib is ability to remember (queue) messages so that it doesn't matter when a communicator is instantiated it will get full message history.
It is heavily inspired by Redux and NgRx and aims to create similar API.
