#2Just a low-effort initial observation: "Works in IE8+, FF, Chrome" but the demo depicts an iMac display :-)
EDIT: Seems to work fine in Safari too!

#3This is the 6th appearance of this lib on HN. That said, it is still one of the most clever things I've seen in terms of front end libs. I stumbled upon it independently about 1.5 years ago, right before the author switched from some restrictive licenses to MIT. Still waiting to see someone implement something amazing with it though. We had mockups for something cool at my last job, but senior management decided to do everything in ServiceNow instead...

#4I should go through each and every 1000+ star project on Github, sometime. Stuff like this is really great.

iMacs can run FF and Chrome natively, and I've encountered a number of folks running Windows or Linux on them as they like the Apple hardware. Not sure what your point is...

#6Great library, seen it pop up here a few times. Slightly off topic, on the website it says:
> "free as in beer, speech & love"
...In what world is beer free? ;) haha

Free as in beer is a term for Freeware, you can use the software for free but you don't have access to the source code.
It's like if someone was to give away free beer, you just have beer you can't make more, or modify it into something else.

"Free as in beer" is a phrase (loosely coined by Richard Stallman) to indicate that something does not cost money. This is as opposed to "free as in speech", meaning that it comes with no restrictions.

Probably the same world where speech and love are free. :)
Roughly:
Free as in beer means you don't have to pay money to use it.
Free as in speech means you have freedom to use or modify it in any way you want
Free as in love means it will happily plays with all other software and systems
