I'm considering using it because of a combination of the following:

1) You can't always count on users having cached it from the CDN.

2) If it's included on my own server I can be sure they're getting exactly what I intend and there will be less HTTP requests when I include it with the rest of my JS which will only add ~4kb.

3) I'm a bit of a minimalist when it comes to code - for the web at least.

Whoa that's actually an awesome idea. I've never thought of something like that before. And I'm sure someone else has actually already attempted it but I wonder why it isn't widespread. The only reason I can think of is maybe the networks just don't offer a solid enough deal for it to be reasonable and profitable, at least for smaller startups. I bet the big boys like Netflix and Hulu could work something out though.

I was actually about to make the same comment. jQuery core is awesome, but everything else just seems like bloat. In their defense, they're tackling a hard problem but I think they might be going about it the wrong way. I think they should solely focus on cross-compatibility and forget about UI frameworks. Then again, UI frameworks aren't a terrible concept for those who want to whip something together quickly (and inefficiently). Maybe it's just a better idea to branch off rather than try to be somewhat of a subsidiary and ride the coattails of the jQuery name.

Bingo. And we occasionally upvote comments such as this one when we're reading aggregated articles during short breaks between long development sessions so we can learn how to better approach entrepreneurship. :)

Man this is some awesome stuff. I wish it was smaller though. Any chance of a minified version?

Doesn't seem to work at all for me on Chrome 15 on Windows 7, so I suspect it isn't working for pretty much everyone else.

I'm with you on this. I always thought it was kind of silly but I guess having even a single page that says "Launching Soon!" is better than nothing at all.

<shamelessPlug>My startup, http://www.loggur.com, says we're launching soon but I actually did take a few weeks to describe it in as much detail as I can on the site. There are at least a dozen pages of details.</shamelessPlug>
