More fond memories: http://script.aculo.us/

I remember getting a drag-and-drop, sortable interface for a blog-widget configurator in Go Daddy's Quick Blog app using script.aculo.us back in 2006 or 2007. Worked perfectly except in IE6 and it took three days of hard dev to get that correct.

jQuery and jQuery UI quickly overshadowed this fun little library.

It was bittersweet that it got overshadowed by jQuery. jQuery was also by some of my favorite people in tech. Another blast from the past is Visual jQuery. I don't know if it's online anywhere :/ https://github.com/jquery-archive/visual-jquery/blob/master/... https://blog.jquery.com/2006/09/02/taking-jquery-documentati...

I miss the yayquery podcast every day.

Used to blow my mind. Didn't understand a lick of it at the time.

Exactly how I felt as a teen/pre-teen.

Prototype had a bid of a rep for being harder than jQuery to pick up.

This made me think of dōjō so I looked it up and it seems like it's going strong (last release 3 years ago, initial in 2006).
