Microsoft has introduced a very interesting, seemingly one-of-a-kind app today for Android. Called on{X} (pronounced on-ex), the system uses JavaScript to interpret end-user instructions by breaking down codes into actions or so-called “recipes”. The system promises to let users control and extend the capabilities of their Android phone using a JavaScript API to remotely program it. on{X} works on both the app, currently available on Android, and on the web which is more like the web-based client portal wherein the recipes are stored or sort of coded. Check out the app here.
Now coding JavaScripts may not really appeal to everyone, but the developers claim that it is easy to use. By stringing together the codes, users create on{X} rules, which can then be shared with others online. First, you will need to install the app on the Android device, then you will have to log in to the website. There you can push the rules to your phone. Rules are actually JavaScript code that runs on your phone. Rules you create using the on{X} website are immediately sent to your phone using the on{X} application.
