Wow, what a blast from the past! I remember looking for libs there back in 2011. Thanks for rekindling those memories.

I remember getting a drag-and-drop, sortable interface for a blog-widget configurator in Go Daddy's Quick Blog app using script.aculo.us back in 2006 or 2007. Worked perfectly except in IE6 and it took three days of hard dev to get that correct.
jQuery and jQuery UI quickly overshadowed this fun little library.

It was bittersweet that it got overshadowed by jQuery. jQuery was also by some of my favorite people in tech. Another blast from the past is Visual jQuery. I don't know if it's online anywhere :/ https://github.com/jquery-archive/visual-jquery/blob/master/... https://blog.jquery.com/2006/09/02/taking-jquery-documentati...

Exactly how I felt as a teen/pre-teen.
Prototype had a bid of a rep for being harder than jQuery to pick up.
This made me think of dōjō so I looked it up and it seems like it's going strong (last release 3 years ago, initial in 2006).

Fun fact: Moment.js was at some point on this website at 3.7kb[1]. Of course that changed over its lifetime.

Now the big question, did you figure out that time date diff with moment.js?
Bonus points if it's the version from March 27th 2012.

Don't feel bad, you weren't the only one. I used it in a bunch of big production projects.

I wonder if someone could create a new #1 Javascript central package repository simply by enforcing the rule of every package must be under 10KB un-minimized and copy/pasteable in a single file.

So that things like React could be distributed as a collection of hundreds of interconnected single-function tiny modules?

I wish there was a website like this for typescript.

If you’re using TypeScript then you have a build step and package manager like NPM, which means packages and libraries are published in the NPM package registries.
This website was from/for an era where you hotlink the scripts.

I created two micro libraries in Javascript long ago but neither is on this website. Makes me think there might be other libraries missing.

I went here the other day to find an image gallery which in the end wasn't maintained anymore.
I loved this website and went here often for inspiration.

Pretty cool. Is there a micro framework for showing 360° photos and videos? Ideally with support for orientation sensors in mobile devices and HMDs (2d/3d) :-)
It even still looks the same! Man I miss those days. Bring back RequireJS and/or browserify
I mean fwiw, native web esmodules now work basiaclly the same as require did back in the day so you can get the same vibe with no build step
Requirejs does not have a mandatory build step.
correct, that was part of my point
Neither do esmodules
Yeah I love it, I wish it was adopted more widely but alas, Webpack and Parcel run my world today
You can still use those tools, but good luck. There's a reason most of us have stopped using them
