Did I miss the link to the example showing it in action? Or is that left as an exercise for the student?

---There's no demo because it behaves exactly like the Masonry example for infinite scrolling and Pinterest.--- Screw it, I added a link to the example. It's on tindie.com.

I'm looking at tindie.com and I see the inifinite scroll but I don't get the need for masonry. All The blocks appear to be the same width and height.

You're right. We had a staggered layout, a la Pinterest, until last week. Now that we've evened up everything, I'm sure we could remove Masonry. It's currently still using it, though.

Maybe add some sort of visual hint on Tindie to show that new content is being loaded. It takes sometime to load the new chunk and someone might think there's nothing more to see down there.
