Wow. Someone even suggested a fork!

I'm using a similar technique on a site of mine except the loading state is populated with cached data (from localStorage) from the last time the user was on the page. Once the up-to-date data is loaded from the server it gets added.

Stuff like this is one of the biggest advantages to using client-side rendering, especially when using an offline cache manifest. If you use both you can immediately render the page as it was the last time the user viewed it and the only thing the user has to wait for is new data.

Thanks for the suggestions, John!

Thanks!

Thanks for the biased opinion, friend!

I'm working on a site that's similar to IRC but uses Twitter for authentication. I've been meaning to post it here but haven't gotten around to it.

I was also 13 when I made my first design/website. I had just built my own computer and wanted to make a site to show others how to do the same. The copy is pretty hilarious. I also remember using Photoshop's slice to HTML tool which makes me cringe just thinking about it.
