I'm building an app using Angular that involves using the Ace editor. What I'd like to do is be able to create and editor & control a select few element of Ace's API in an Angular-like way. ie:

<div ng-controller="AceCtrl">
  <ace-editor mode="html" ng-model="code" ng-change="do_stuff()"></ace-editor>
</div>

And have that construct an Ace instance with observable properties.

I came up with a technique for hosting Javascript apps on Amazon's S3 that can use the request URI (path) as any app with a server side could. This enables a 'fake' directory structure that is actually just one page on S3. I built [schemist](http://schemist.phuu.net) using this technique.

## The basic concept

At it's core, the idea is as simple as using S3's static website hosting tools to force all requests to go to one page. This is as simple as setting up a bucket as a website and pointing the index and 404 pages to the same file (could be index.html or anything else). Because the request URI is kept when the 404 page is served, you can process it using Javascript and serve any content you like, faking a directory structure. This means pretty urls are very easy, and still enables query strings and page identifiers. In combo with the History API, it's pretty damn cool.

## How to do it
