I don't mean to be a downer...but at this point, wouldn't it just make sense to use vanilla JS? I guess I'm not seeing the use case...

When I don't use jQuery, I've been using Sprint[1] (another lightweight jQuery-like library). If I need anything lighter than that...I just assume use plain JavaScript.

Actually I wrote this as more of a learning exercise for me. Definitely vanilla js is the fastest way and libraries like Sprint are the source of inspiration. I wrote kinwin to sort of like create my own utility belt. I will try to improve it over the course of time. Thanks for the feedback.

why name it as "Framework"? it is more of a library

Thanks for pointing that out.

What browsers are it tested on?

Tested on Chrome, Firefox, Safari. I will test on Opera and IE tomorrow and update the README.

Why '=' instead of nothing for tag names?

j / k navigate · click thread line to collapse
