this is my covid project: a ground up, jQuery (and all other dependencies)-free rewrite of intercooler.js

I've been really interested in Intercooler.js, but the jQuery dependency bummed me out. This is a very cool project, and I highly appreciate you putting in the work here!

I do have one question. Is there a specific reason why you chose not to follow the standardized specification[0] of using data-* prefixes for HTML attributes? I realize it's pedantic, but I'd like to see this project receive wide support and usage. I'm concerned many potential users will criticize this.

Edit: Nevermind, I just looked through the docs from the start. You do support it!

:) Yep, do it the way you like.

Btw, check out the kt-classes attribute if you want to do some slick CSS transitions w/o javascript:

https://kutty.org/attributes/kt-classes/

Great idea! ++ for things that are jQuery-free. :)

One quick (fix/)suggestion: the kutty header on the top left, even being a clickable link to home as expected, changes the cursor to textual selection cursor upon hover instead of the usual link/hand/finger pointer. :)

Yeah, there is an annoyance w sinon.js (the library I use for mocking AJAX) that breaks the top nav (I'm using the kt-boost attribute)

I'll fix it up.

update: fixed, thanks for calling me out for being lazy
