If you go back to the homepage, he's offering the plugin for commercial use for $37. I like this idea of monetizing the use of plugins, especially ones so well-built. (He's also offering direct support for $17, another interesting idea.)

$37 is a joke. I just purchased it b̶e̶f̶o̶r̶e̶ ̶h̶e̶ ̶r̶e̶a̶l̶i̶z̶e̶s̶ ̶h̶e̶ ̶c̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶c̶h̶a̶r̶g̶e̶ ̶a̶n̶ ̶o̶r̶d̶e̶r̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶m̶a̶g̶n̶i̶t̶u̶d̶e̶ ̶m̶o̶r̶e̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ to support further development of this gem.

I agree. I was happy to see such a reasonable price for this great plugin. Thanks for sharing!

I hate to make such a banal comment, but when I see things like this I cannot wait to redesign my website and use this ultra-cool technologies. After programming for 25 years I am grateful to this plugin and the developer(s) for the excitement that playing with the demo just gave me. Buried under all those years of coding standards this rekindled some of the feelings from the kid in me that would eagerly look forward to the next issue of E.T.I. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronics_Today_International....

Indeed. It's such a frictionless purchase that he'll be laughing all the way to the bank.

That's a lot of hard work to substitute for the 'strikethru' tag :)

Isotope is fairly nice, but it is still missing fluid width on the layout elements. In other words, although it does respond fairly well to horizontal resizing of the browser, it still doesn't do a good job of dynamically adjusting the width of elements horizontally while at the same time stacking them vertically. I made some custom modifications on the original jQuery masonry plugin to get the effect I needed for my…

Wow I'm really impressed with the layout and how clean it all is.

Beautiful. The individual demos are also very impressive. The only thing I didn't really get was the variable sizes option, where the sizes seemed kind of arbitrary (for example on the elements demo, I expected it to be proportional to something, such as the abundance of the element).

Small note, on Chrome (d10) the option highlights on the Elements Complete demo are broken. Buttons still work but the highlight doesn't update correctly.
