#3Uh.... All I see is some web 2.0 layout, some cryptic mumbo jumbo about something called uberjs, and a plea for $10 or I can sit in line and wait for something I'm not even fully sure what it is.
Perhaps you should make me love your product, before trying to get me to give you my hard earned money.

Seems great. So you're suggesting you will keep a library of all the major libraries, and load them async for the user? How do you handle dependencies, such as jquery, and jquery plugins?

#5I would probably explain what on Earth my product is before I go about asking developers for $10 to get early access to it...

Any other info? I'm interested, but the "Why We Think Uber JS Rocks" section isn't quite enough to convince me to pay $10 to peek behind the curtain.

#7If you have so many Javascript snippets that you need another javascript snippet to organize them you may want to think about how your developing your application and what your application means to the user.
Heavy Javascript on the client side either means your writing a full featured web app or the entire website is clientside in javascript. The former probably has performance penalties that make this a bad idea. The later, IMHO, is just bad.
The only useful thing I can think of with this is the fact that it can serve up a custom load of libraries all bundled and gziped in one file. But to that extent I can run a small script on my computer that will do that and then upload it to my server rather than having to cross domain half of my Javascript.

#8I had the same idea a while back but never executed.
Pricing is going to be tricky. You have to convince your users that your service is really worth it. Copying and pasting code into their site costs nothing and takes very little time. Once it's there it rarely changes. Most users don't understand the performance impact of 3rd party scripts.

#9Interesting - very curious as to how it works though, maybe something you could add on the page. Since your audience is developers I'm sure others would appreciate that info also.

#10How reliable will uberjs.com be as a CDN? Also it seems to be jumping the gun a bit in regards to asking people to pay for it.
