Every week is a new record for traffic, lately doubling from one week to the next. If that keeps up, I'm going to need a (much) better host account. :)

I hope more and more people will start using it, post their examples, report bugs and help in other ways! :)

I really do need to beef up the documentation considerably though. I'm working on too many things at once at the moment. :) Speaking of examples, the Examples page is much improved as of today. If people look at the tiny bits of calling code and the example add-ons (some of which are really only useful as examples), I think experienced programmers can put it together fairly easily, but I know I need to provide more (and better) explanations to reach the novices. Thanks again for all of your help!

The build of My Library used on my new Examples page is the same size. The full build, which includes Flash, audio, drag and drop, queries and a truly elegant OO interface (not a $ factory function that returns the same ham-fisted object for all abstractions) is about twice that. Their stuff falls apart every time a new browser comes out. Mine doesn't. You do the math. ;) |
