These are awesome. Would be cool to see more docs on the constraints themselves, if possible

Thanks!. For now the source of the examples is the best reference (and is commented with the intent of the constraints): https://github.com/iamralpht/iamralpht.github.io/tree/master... I will do some proper documentation and package Slalom up as a library in the future.

I hope you'll find time to package both this and your javascript physics code.

Your constraints abstraction looks very promising. Now all you need is to package it up. The examples are excellent.

These are really awesome - a very big well done to the author. Only this morning I was thinking of how to implement a few of these types of interactions for a web app I'm developing - I actually might adapt some of the source code for my uses (assuming that's allowed under the License?). If you're still working on a syntax for this, maybe you'll want to have a look at uilang or uiscript (both on Github) or Grid Style…

The license is Apache 2, so go for it! Thanks for the pointers on uiscript and uilang; I'll check them out. GSS is also on my list :).

This is one of the most awesome things for web-based GUIs ever. Performance seems to be decent on my mid-range to high-end mobile devices. Great work!
