stevendesuon New JavaScript library for high-performance filtering

https://www.npmjs.com/package/jsindex

I've published it on npmjs for anyone interested in trying it out. Note: Still not 100% finished, so some features may not work.

stevendesuon I created a minimalist library to replace Redux

Unfortunately try as I might I've yet to think of a problem that isn't already solved. Of the literally hundreds of ideas I've had for libraries or frameworks or toolkits, I can google it and find someone has already made a package for it.

At this point I think "build a better mouse trap" is the best avenue for me to get anything accomplished. After all, if everyone followed the motto of "don't invent something that's already solved" we wouldn't have:

>React (replaced Angular, Backbone, Ember, etc) >Redux (replaced Flux) >jQuery (replaced Prototype, MooTools) >Facebook (replaced MySpace) >Google (replaced Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, Altavista, etc)

The list goes on and on. I didn't see an existing library as a reason to throw away both a learning opportunity and a fun project.
