JavaScript projects to look into

Either I don't see navigation beyond the single page or Canvas section is seriously lacking. It does not list some mainstream widely used libraries like Cocos2D or EaselJS. Then there's MelonJS, Quintus, LimeJS and CanvasEngine, which all have their strengths and weaknesses but are viable options depending on your project.

I suggest author to remove the word "every" from title until he covers at least 90%.

I get a lot of similar complaints about the headline... Will look into adding these libraries.

Good work.

A few observations:

It does mention quite a few node.js projects but is missing a few very popular node.js libraries like caolan/async and misses mentioning a few Javascript libraries that work well both under node as well as Javascript (like moment.js).

Perhaps a separate node.js section would be useful, even though there would be some duplication of names.

From the site: JavascriptOO.com is primarily focused on micro libraries, utilities, and other JS wizardry that can run in a browser.

Moment is there: http://www.javascriptoo.com/moment-js

Nicely done. It'd be really great if I could link to javascriptoo.com/canvas and get that page with the canvas checkbox pre-selected, so I could link to it in presentations, email to my boss etc.

This looks like it's working now -- so possibly fixed after your comment?

Aha, it's quite possible it worked before I commented, but it doesn't change the URLs as you click on the checkboxes so I couldn't tell.

I cannot guess the URLs for combinations of checkboxes, e.g. canvas+charting.

Completely off topic but just thought I'd say hi as a fellow nilliams :) HI!

Currently there is no URL structure for more than one category... but now there will be. Thanks for the idea!

Looks like this could be useful. I'm always humbled and whenever I see something I've written [1] appear on a list like this :D

Otherwise I've noticed a bug. If you filter on the homepage, click something, then go back the checkbox is still checked but the filter is not applied.

This was mentioned to me on Twitter and has now been resolved.

Also - enquire.js is one of the libraries I have not yet written an example for... as the author would you care to put one together? http://www.javascriptoo.com/enquire-js/submit

Cool to see. I'll definitely be using a few of these in my http://neocities.org site!

Handy site! though looking at the thread creator's 100+ submission history over the last month, I do not believe they are behind this project, and that the various compliments and observations posted in this thread are unfortunately not reaching the correct person - Hopefully the project creator visits after noticing HN in their referral logs.

present.

So it's kinda like unheap.com

From the site:

The site is not focused on jQuery plugins, for that see http://plugins.jquery.com/.

The site is not an automated directory.

The site owner reads all the documentation and attempts to write an example that runs in the browser for every single library added to the site.

How is the faceting (checkbox logic) done here? Using an existing project or custom made?

It is a custom application. The site uses an ender.js build: bean,bonzo,domready,qwery,reqwest,underscore,ender-overlay

Nice! This is a great way to look at all the options available.

Kinetic.js is missing. Good work though. :)

How is this different from Bower.js?

How does one get a complete list of all packages and descriptions from Bower?

bower search via your terminal

Don't use a search term

wow, great work
