Unheap - A tidy collection of jQuery plugins • Hacker News Board

Nice. But at 36 pages of 20 or so plugins each...this is not a tidy collection. The category organization is definitely helpful...but what would be even better is some ranking of them, even if by github stars.

And a flat, text only table of the collection would be really nice too. I'm usually looking for just functionality, something that is better described in the author provided readme rather than a screenshot

Hmm! Simple Modal - http://simplemodal.plasm.it/ may be just what I've been looking for, for my project, as I've moved from Prototype to jQuery, but still have to keep to Prototype hooks around, to utilize Modal Box - http://okonet.ru/projects/modalbox/index.html - I like the OS X-like styling of the, "sheet" coming down from the top of the menu, and ability to load via Ajax.

Looks like I may be able to hack the same sort of styling into Simple Modal, and it's got load-via-ajax already built in. (any other options?)
