I'm not sure how these are innovative at all as it's just three Div's and some CSS. Yes it does use CSS gradients and box shadows to look a little nicer but this is realy something that can be whipped up in a few lines of CSS. Does it realy warrant a GitHub project? It would be better as a tutorial showing others how to make it from scratch.

Oh come on. Since when are there rules for what warrants a GitHub project? I store a collection of icons on GitHub. It's not really something you'd expect to see on GiHub but it's useful to me and if some else stumbles on it and likes it then it's a bonus. No one claimed these were innovative. You'd be surprised how many people, experienced or not, would find this useful to build on. Don't be a know it all, now. The post is exactly what it says it is and there's really nothing wrong with it. Don't be negative for no reason please.

What? That should be (From the README.md).

Also seconding the simplicity of the project (i guess new years eve is a low-volume time of the year for submissions, but i wouldn't have expected this to be #5 on the front page.. must have hit all the right buzzwords.)

Agreed Bill. Githib is for anything I want it to be.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to suggest it was not useful at all. I just feel that for something so simple it would be better to show people how to create the same effect as it is using a few simple techniques that are core to web design. I understand that there are a lot of people that find it hard to visually design things and having an example that can be copied is helpfull.

Agreed. I built something like this in a few minutes when it was needed for a recent project. I was looking at Javascript "libraries" to do this, and then realized that it could be done with a tiny bit of CSS.

I took Tufte's one day class up in New Haven a couple of months ago. So now you know... edit: anything you particularly like about him?

I took his one day class a few years ago in Portland. It was great. I like the obsessive level of detail he applies to his craft, down to personally choosing the paper stock for his books.

Also, sparklines. :)
