    Looks like an interesting project, but I object to the "one line of jQuery" part. It's meaningless - anything can be "one line" if you're just calling another function... Commented Dec 19, 2009 at 19:58
  • Heh, it's cool seeing my little project make this list. Thanks. Commented Jan 2, 2010 at 19:44

    Shouldn't "Try it!" be more like "Help us write it!"? As-is, seems to be advertising the product rather than soliciting development as an open project. Though it appears this is a common issue (but "try it" overemphasizes it, perhaps?), isn't the request for ads "soliciting the participation and contribution"? Have I misunderstood?

  • Roger, You have to try it before you would ever consider contributing. The more people that use a project, the more likely someone will come along to help out with it. Commented Jan 8, 2010 at 2:42

    Ryan: that argument doesn't seem to work for some ads: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/31913/… I like the concept of timeago and I'm glad to have found out about it through this Q, just trying to improve the ad. Commented Jan 8, 2010 at 14:40

    @DisgruntledGoat - no, one line is still important when you're asking someone to implement your code. One added line is tremendously easier to ask for as compared to 10 lines involving configuration and conditional calls. Commented Feb 15, 2010 at 10:53

    @jsoverson: I see what you're getting at, but like I said, you can make any code "one line", whether it's one function of a whole lotta config. Practically all jQuery plugins are one line anyway, plus you also need to include jQuery and the plugin code and some document.ready code, so it's far from your definition of "one line" anyway.

  • anyone else sees a hand with 3 uniformly fading fingers, which one would expect to fade incrementally for some reason ? Commented May 21, 2010 at 21:41
