#63Excellent stuff. I find the best javascript micro libs are built with one specific purpose in mind, like at work or on a startup, then extracted out and open-sourced :) I'd suggest adding a config option for how to handle certain digits or multiples - personally I would prefer to have 1..20 and then 20+, 30+, etc. because they're easier to grok at a glance. I guess that could be wrapped into it pretty easily for any…
Cheers Joss! Agreed, that would be nice.. not sure what the best way to format that config would be though.
Maybe something like:
[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,20,30,40,50,100]
If the actual number exists in the list, show the number explicitly; otherwise, find the next lowest number and add a +.

Because you are being arrogant. (I don't have downvote powers)
What was arrogant about the comment? He merely stated that he doesn't find the solution to be aesthetically pleasing. Are opinions contrary to those of the majority now to be considered arrogant?
Arrogance is more about tone than content.
