Is there any information on browser compatibility? I see ES5 getters/setters in use for fastfix as well as CSS animations, so I'm assuming there'll be a compatibility matrix somewhere. Also, swipe doesn't seem to work on Chromium 17/Fedora. Otherwise, great work!

_sh·166-point thread·

My last two projects have completely forgone jQuery for vanilla JS and a minimal Lodash. Widespread support for querySelector, querySelectorAll, getElementById eliminate all of those handy selector functions. The rest you can read below. http://youmightnotneedjquery.com/ This also helps you to learn better javascript, rather than relying on a crutch to string together a lot of convoluted sugar syntax.

Great additions to an already great library. I've already found a use for this guy: http://jquerypp.com/#formparams Thanks for posting!
