So, one thing I don't quite understand: If I have jQuery on my page (which I imagine now at least 50% of websites do, though that's just a guess) why would I want to add another script that redefines a bunch of jQuery functions? If you had a jQuery compliant version, wouldn't it be smaller, faster, better?

One note--and this applies to every Javascript plugin or library:

Your examples need to be online. Without exception.

As soon as I have to download and run local examples, honestly I just completely lose interest. That may seem impatient, a snap judgment, arbitrary and irrational. It is in fact all of these but it doesn't matter.

There's no reason you can't have your demos online. It makes it super easy for anyone to check out.

kinda neat...but...you need to read: http://contrastrebellion.com/ and redesign your site...easily the biggest violation of my eyes ever.

I didn't have any problem reading the site - perhaps it's your eyes?

In fact, I'd say the Contrast Rebellion logo is the biggest violation of my eyes. Scrolling up and down doesn't seem right...

I'm sure you would, but not everybody is using or likes jQuery. A standalone script such as this one is far more valuable.

I totally agree with examples being online but they have an example page listed at the top http://listjs.com/examples.html

What is the license behind the script ? Apache ? MIT ? Other?

MIT according to the project page on Github. It's a little strange that they didn't include the license in the .js file. I guess they wanted to save a few bytes...

I spent a good 30 seconds doing that and giggling.

That's an awful website too. White text on dark background is a complete readability failure, no matter how much contrast it provides.

I prefer white-on-black. To me, reading black-on-white feels somewhat akin to staring into a projector.

I'd like to see something like this for Backbone collections, e.g. it would take a query on model attributes and generate a subset of the original collection. Then any views (not just lists) tied to this subset would update automatically. In fact I think with _.fiter() you could probably do this in a few lines.

I've tweaked the proposal at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6865174/backbone-js-corre... to do just what you describe.

The problem is that the focus is on the Download and social sharing buttons. I would just remove all that completely.
