Posted 165 days ago 25It has some duplication here but quite inspiring. My favourite has to be the annotation overlays but I think the PNG must be quite heavy but for the right application very good. I’m new to jquery and the jquery rss reader for mobile was also good. I have my own first mobile ap here for iphone.

jquery is just another js framework (with a shitty design). definitely, nothing more.
if you write js the right way you rarely need to perform even document.getElementById().
